Question 23

Immunological protection can be acquired through different pathways. Consider the following three clinical scenarios:

  1. A child receives the Salk polio vaccine, which contains inactivated poliovirus.
  2. An individual who has been bitten by a rabid dog is immediately injected with anti-rabies immunoglobulins.
  3. A newborn baby receives IgA\text{IgA}IgA antibodies from their mother's colostrum during breastfeeding.

Which of these scenarios rely on the recipient's own immune system undergoing clonal selection and expansion to generate long-term protection through memory cells?
