Passive acquired immunity is mediated through humoral antibodies, primarily IgA, IgG, and IgM. Colostrum and breast milk are important sources of IgA, which is important in fighting respiratory and gastrointestinal disorders. IgG is able to pass through the placenta. Most passive acquired immunity is acquired in the third trimester and lasts approximately 6 months.
