Answer 1

Passive immunization

Step-by-step explanation:

Passive immunity is a situation where there is a transfer of ready-made antibodies to the recepient. In this situation, the transferred antibodies help to prevent virus and infetious diseases. The downside of this type of immunization is that, the protection it offers doesn't last long, it may last for a few weeks or a few months. We have both natural and artificial passive immunization.

In this case, since the rabbit is exposed to a viral antigen to which it makes antibodies, and the antibodies are then purified and injected into a human with the same viral disease we can say a passive immunization has taken place and it is of artificial type.

Answer 2

The answer is passive immunity.

Step-by-step explanation:

The situation given in the question is an example of passive immunity which can be described as giving a person the antibodies needed for the disease that are produced outside of that person's body. The antibodies that are produced by the rabbit are an example of this situation.

I hope this answer helps.
