- If innate immunity is the central focus, assignment to III may be appropriate; if antigen presentation is the central focus, assignment to CMIA or CMIB may be appropriate.
- Once thought to be the unnecessary vestigial tail of the immune system, new findings show that innate immunity is the cornerstone of the body's ability to fight infection.
- On the other hand, innate immunity is phylogenetically conserved and was formerly considered as non-specific because the major work of this system is to digest pathogens and present the antigen to the cells involved in acquired immunity.
- This system of innate immunity is conserved in organisms as diverse as plants, flies, and humans.
- Innate immunity is a widespread and important defense against microbial attack in insects.
