<p>Innate immunity protects against infections and provides the early line of response against pathogens, it involves macrophages, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, mast cells, and dendritic cells. b. Natural barriers such as skin are also part of the innate immunity c. The innate immune system uses a diversity of cellular receptors to recognise and respond to pathogens. d. Innate immunity receptors bind pathogen surfaces directly and often bind to repeating patterns, for example, of carbohydrate or lipid moieties, that are characteristic of microbial surfaces but are not found on host cells</p> <p>Natural barriers such as skin are also part of the innate immunity</p> Signup and view all the answers
