  2. What is the difference between innate and adaptive immunity? Innate immunity is the body’s first line of defence against pathogens. It is general and non-specific, which means it does not differentiate between types of pathogens.

    The nonspecific arm of the immune system with which an individual is born is termed innate immunity (also called natural immunity). The innate immunity acts as a barrier against foreign invading materials. These barriers form the first line of defense and aid in the activation and modulation of the adaptive immune response. The immune system of the...

    It includes individual, racial, and species immunity. 1. Individual immunity: Some individuals of the same race and same species can have varied experiences with certain infections. For example, children are more susceptible to viral fever than adults. 2. Racial immunity: Individuals of different races within the same species have varied susceptibi...

    Physical and chemical barriers prevent the entry of foreign materials.
    If the infection is established, a cascade of complement reactions and phagocytosis helps clearance of the infecting agents.
    It activates the adaptive immune system by the release of cytokines and antigen presentation.
    Gastric acidity, whose high pH prevents the entry of pathogens inside the body by microbicidal effect.
    Skin that acts as a barrier against invasion of foreign bodies inside the body.
    Phagocytosis ofMycobacterium tuberculosis by antigen-presenting cells.

    The specific arm of the immune system possessing exquisite specificity of antigen recognition and is acquired by an individual during his lifetime is termed acquired immunity. The mediators of acquired infection include: 1. Humoral immunity: Serum proteins called antibodies produced by B cells mediate this type of immunity. The humoral immune respo...

    When a pathogen enters the body, acquired immunity can be induced by the host body or by the artificial transfer of antibodies/ lymphocytes inside the host body. 1. Active immunity: This is the type of acquired immunity developed in the host body itself because of exposure to the pathogen. When the antigen is recognized by the host cell, an immune ...

    When foreign antigens are presented by professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs) or upon release of cytokines from cells, adaptive immunity comes into the act.
    Antigen-specific antibodies help to neutralize the infection.
    Immunological memory is developed in the form of memory B cells which respond immediately upon the re-exposure to the specific infectious agent.
    T helper cells help in the activation of other immune cells.
    When phagocytes cannot clear Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacilli alone, the release of cytokines activates cytotoxic T cells.
    After primary infection with COVID-19, secondary infection is less severe as memory has developed during primary infection.
    Infections due to the Ebola virus and Cytomegalovirus also have the potency to develop memory cells making reinfection less severe.

  4. Aug 4, 2009 · The Distinction Between Innate and Acquired Characteristics. First published Tue Aug 4, 2009; substantive revision Thu Mar 17, 2022. The idea that some characteristics of an organism are explained by its intrinsic nature, whilst others reflect the influence of the environment is an ancient one.

  5. Innate immunity is the inborn resistance against infections that an individual possesses right from birth due to his genetic or constitutional markup. Acquired immunity is the resistance to infecting foreign substances that an individual acquires or adapts during life.

  6. Aug 9, 2022 · Innate immunity is non-specific, faster response while Adaptive immunity is specific and slower response.

  7. What is the difference between innate and adaptive immunity? Innate: you are born with it. It includes certain physical, cellular, and chemical barriers throughout the body. It NONSPECIFIC. Active: Acquired immunity that develops in response to antigens. It is SPECIFIC to the antigen. Specificity is determined by B-cells and T-cells.
