The innate immune system or nonspecific immune system is one of the two main immunity strategies (the other being the adaptive immune system) in vertebrates...

special form of immune response is antitumor immunity. In general, there are two branches of the immune response, the innate and the adaptive, which work...

disease is a condition that results from an anomalous response of the adaptive immune system, wherein it mistakenly targets and attacks healthy, functioning...
