Summary Introduction

To review:

The differences between the innate and the adaptive immune responses.

Introduction:

The body is defended against the foreign substances by the immune responses. These immune responses are the innate and the adaptive immune response. The innate immune mechanism includes the non-specific defense of the host and the adaptive immune response includes the specific defense of the host. The two mechanisms provide immunity from most of the foreign invading bodies.
