Why is the adaptive immune response to an initial infection slower thanthe innate response?
Why would it benefit the body to have an adaptive immune system in addition to an innate immune system?
The primary function of the immune system is to protect the host from invasion by foreign organisms. But how does the immune system prevent itself from mounting attacks against its host? In other words, how does the immune system distinguish between self and nonself?
