a. Explain why babies with agammaglobulinemia do not develop
opportunistic infections until about 6 months after birth.
b. Explain why people with B-cell deficiencies can benefit from
artificial passive immunotherapy. Explain whether vaccination
would work for them.

For example, researchers found that babies who are exclusively breastfed have fewer and less severe infections e.g., they have lower risk of ear, respiratory and gastrointestinal tract infections.
