Description

Charlie's Innate vs Adaptive Immunity Chart Hallmark:

Innate:

Adaptive:

Level of specificity

Innate immunity does not have a specific response to a pathogen.

Adaptive immunity has a very specific response to pathogens.

Involvement of memory

Innate immunity has no memory and when exposed to the same pathogen, it will not react with the same efficiency.

Adaptive immunity produces a long-lasting memory allowing it to recognize and combat specific pathogens previously encountered.

Time for first response to an Innate immunity has a fast response time to an antigen. antigen

Adaptive immunity has a much slower response to an antigen. In people, It takes the adaptive immunity about 4-7 days to produce a response to an antigen if the innate immunity is ineffective.

Time for secondary/repeated response to an antigen

Because of lack of memory, Innate immunity will have a fast secondary response to an antigen, but this response will be less potent and slower than adaptive immunity response.

Because adaptive immunity produces a long-lasting memory, it will recognize and respond to a previously encountered virus quickly and efficiently.

Level of self-descrimination

Innate immunity combats any alien invader that enters the body.

Adaptive immunity only responds and combats a specific antigen that was previously encountered.

Duration of the response

The response of innate immunity ends directly after the pathogenic infection has ended.

Adaptive immunity provides a long-lasting immunity and response against a specific antigen.

Key cells involved

Mast cells, eosinophils, natural killer cells, basophils, neutrophils, dendritic cells, macrophages.

Lymphocytes such as T (thymus) cells and B (bursaderived/bone-marrow ) cells...
