Summary Introduction
Introduction: The immune system is the defense strategy found in every living things, it protects from the diseases caused by foreign bodies. The immune system is categorized into two types, innate and adaptive immune systems. Innate immunity is the first line of defense, non-specific to antigens. Adaptive immunity is also called acquired immunity, which is specific to antigens.
