Compare and contrast innate and acquired immunity.
What will be an ideal response?
Innate immunity is a nonspecific response to foreign invaders or tissue damage and acts as a second line of defense.
Acquired (adaptive) immunity has two major methods of response, cell-mediated immunity and humoral
immunity, both of which are specific to the pathogen. Cells of the adaptive immune system are responsible for
immunological memory.
