Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The second line of defense can be defined as the nonspecific resistance that eliminates the pathogenic invaders in a usual way. If the pathogens pass the first line of defense such as through a cut in the skin, the infection progresses. In that case, the second line of defense plays its role to protect the body.
