Detailed explanation-1: -Innate, or nonspecific, immunity is the defense system with which you were born. It protects you against all antigens. Innate immunity involves barriers that keep harmful materials from entering your body.
Detailed explanation-2: -The innate immune system protects the host during the time between microbe exposure and initial adaptive responses. The innate immune system recognizes microbes directly through pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), which are receptors specific for molecular components of micro-organisms that are not made by the host.
Detailed explanation-3: -Elements of the innate immune response can be found in all multicellular organisms (14). The innate immune system can be categorized into three defense mechanisms: (1) physical barriers, (2) cellular components, and (3) humoral responses (15).
Detailed explanation-4: -A part of the innate immune response, and destroys pathogens that enter the body. This includes a cellular response, phagocytosis, and several chemical responses, inflammation, fever, the complement system, and interferons. Chemical messengers that immune cells follow to the site of injury.
