Summary Introduction
Introduction: Immunity is the process of defense performed by an individual’s body in response to a foreign agent that invades the body. Innate immunity is a kind of immunity that is seen in individuals from birth. All animals possess innate immunity that is their first line of defense against any antigen. Adaptive immunity develops after encountering infectious agents.
