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.

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