Question
Chapter 33.3, Problem 1.2RIA
Summary Introduction
The mammalian hosts also possess some specific chemical barriers. These barriers help them to combat the continuous onslaught of the pathogens. The innate resistance of the mammals relies on the chemical mediators. This includes cationic peptides, cytokines, bacteriocins, acute-phase proteins, and the complement system.
