Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Innate immunity also comes in a protein chemical form, called innate humoral immunity. Examples include the body’s complement system and substances called interferon and interleukin-1 (which causes fever). If an antigen gets past these barriers, it is attacked and destroyed by other parts of the immune system.

Detailed explanation-2: -Immunity (ih MYOON ih tee) is your body’s ability to destroy pathogens that it has previously encountered before the pathogens are able to cause disease.

Detailed explanation-3: -The function of adaptive immune responses is to destroy invading pathogens and any toxic molecules they produce. Because these responses are destructive, it is crucial that they be made only in response to molecules that are foreign to the host and not to the molecules of the host itself.

Detailed explanation-4: -They do this by recognising substances called antigens on the surface of the microbe, or in the chemicals they produce, which mark the microbe or toxin as being foreign. The antibodies then mark these antigens for destruction. There are many cells, proteins and chemicals involved in this attack.

Detailed explanation-5: -These specialized cells and parts of the immune system offer the body protection against disease. This protection is called immunity.
