    Study Notes

    Overview of Innate and Adaptive Immunity

    • Host defenses are grouped under innate and adaptive immunity, with innate immunity providing immediate protection and adaptive immunity developing more specialized defense against infections.
    • Innate immunity is always present in healthy individuals and blocks the entry of microbes while adaptive immunity adapts to the presence of microbial invaders.
    • The first line of defense in innate immunity is provided by epithelial barriers and cells present in epithelia, while several other components defend against microbes that breach epithelia.
    • The adaptive immune system consists of lymphocytes with highly diverse and variable receptors for foreign substances and the products of these cells, such as antibodies, which are essential for defense against pathogenic microbes.
    • The cells and molecules of innate immunity recognize structures shared by classes of microbes, while lymphocytes of adaptive immunity express receptors that specifically recognize a much wider variety of molecules produced by microbes.
    • Adaptive immune responses often use the cells and molecules of the innate immune system to eliminate microbes.
    • The cells of the immune system are located in different tissues and serve different roles in host defense, with most of these cells being derived from bone marrow precursors that circulate in the blood and are called leukocytes.
    • Tissue-resident dendritic cells, macrophages, and mast cells serve as sentinels to detect the presence of microbes in tissues and initiate immune responses.
    • Dendritic cells have the specialized function of capturing microbial antigens and displaying them to T lymphocytes to initiate adaptive immune responses and are therefore called antigen-presenting cells.
    • Phagocytes ingest and destroy microbes, and they are myeloid cells that include neutrophils and macrophages, which can develop from circulating monocytes.
    • Lymphocytes, including B and T cells, circulate through lymphoid organs and nonlymphoid tissues, recognize foreign antigens, and carry out adaptive immune responses.
    • Innate and adaptive immunity work together, with innate immunity providing early defense against infections and required to initiate adaptive immune responses against infectious agents.
