Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The relationship between innate and acquired immunity is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Innate immune response is the initial responder against infection, while the acquired immune response is very specific to a particular type of infection.

Innate immunity is one of the crucial defense mechanisms present in vertebrates. It is the dominant immune response present in fungi, plants, insects, and primitive animals.

The acquired immune system responds strongly against pathogens and each pathogen is remembered by the specific antigen.
