Vedclass · Answer

(C) Antivenom is a biological product used in the treatment of venomous bites or stings,such as snake bites.It is produced by injecting small,non-lethal amounts of snake venom (antigen) into a host animal (like a horse or sheep).The host animal's immune system responds by producing specific antibodies against the venom.These antibodies are then harvested from the animal's blood serum and purified to create antivenom.Therefore,when administered to a patient,antivenom provides passive immunity by introducing pre-formed antibodies that neutralize the snake venom.
