Discuss the two different types of immunity
What will be an ideal response?
The two types of immunity are innate, or nonspecific, immunity and adaptive, or specific, immunity. First, innate immune system consists of antimicrobial proteins and certain cells. Innate immunity responds quickly and is the dominant response to pathogens for the first 12 hours after exposure due to readily available cells and proteins in the bloodstream. The second type of immunity, known as adaptive or specific immunity, includes components that respond to specific antigens. Adaptive immunity responds more slowly than innate immunity because one must be exposed to a specific antigen for the response to be initiated.
