Distinguish which pathway(s) are considered part of an adaptive immune response and which are considered part of innate immunity, and say why
What will be an ideal response?
Only the classical pathway is considered part of the adaptive immune response because of the requirement for antibody. However, the classical pathway is also considered part of innate immunity because of the ability of C-reactive protein, an acute-phase protein, to activate it. The other two pathways are considered part of innate immunity because they are initiated independently of antibody.
