1. Transferred components are immune cells and autologous as above.^{&91;1&93;&91;2&93;}
2. Transfer of immune cells is made between different individuals of monozygotic twins in human or of the same pure line in experimental animals from immunologically sensitized to naive host, where transferred cells are engrafted without rejection or GVHD in the new host.^{&91;2&93;&91;4&93;}
3. Transfer of cells are made between allogeneic hosts but the new host is irradiated for preventing rejection or GVHD.^{&91;5&93;&91;6&93;}
4. Transfer of cells are made between allogeneic hosts.^&91;1&93;
5. Transferred components include cells as well as immune molecules such as immunoglobulins between allogeneic hosts.^&91;7&93;

The term is used almost synonymously for "passive immunity" in some situations,^[7] however, passive immunity acts among xenogeneic hosts; for example, in snake venom immunotherapy, antivenom IgG is obtained from sensitized horse and inoculated to humans.^[8]
