Triggers acquired immune response Attack tumors and tissue transplants. 16/11/2024 Department of Physiology Physiology I (BSM1102)  Innate and adaptive immunity Innate immunity: always present (ready to attack); many pathogenic microbes have evolved to resist innate immunity Adaptive immunity: stimulated by exposure to microbe; more potent 16/11/2024 Department of Physiology Physiology I (BSM1102) 16/11/2024 Department of Physiology Physiology I (BSM1102)  Thank you 11/16/2024 Department of Physiology Physiology I (BSM1102)
