Summary Introduction

To review:

The various types of innate immunity.

Introduction:

The human body hosts a variety of microbes and at the same time, it is surrounded by a variety of pathogens but is still not randomly infected. This is due to the ability of the body to resist any type of infection by the immune system. The immune system can recognize the invader and differentiate it from the host cell. After identification, it neutralizes the pathogenic organism or molecule. There are two types of immunity, innate immunity and adaptive immunity.
