Is innate immunity found in mammals?

Yes, innate immunity is found in mammals. It is the first line of defense against pathogens and is characterized by non-specific responses that are present from birth. Innate immunity includes physical barriers, such as the skin, as well as cellular and chemical defenses that help protect the body from infections.


What are the difference between antiviral immunity and anti bacterial immunity?

Antiviral immunity targets viruses by recognizing viral antigens and activating immune responses specific to viral infections. Antibacterial immunity targets bacteria by recognizing bacterial antigens and activating immune responses specific to bacterial infections. The mechanisms of immune cell activation, the types of cells involved, and the specific responses generated differ between antiviral and antibacterial immunity.


What action is Cellular immunity attributed to?

T Cells


What are the five different types of Igs and functions?

The five different types of immunoglobulins (Igs) are IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD, and IgE. Their functions include neutralization of pathogens, opsonization for phagocytosis, activation of complement system, mucosal immunity, and mediation of allergic responses.


What is the epidermal cell that has a role in immunity and disease resistance?

Langerhans cells are epidermal cells that play a key role in immunity and disease resistance. They act as antigen-presenting cells, initiating immune responses in the skin by capturing and processing antigens to activate T cells.
