How does the innate and adaptive immune system overlap?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Innate immune system instructs adaptive immune system the right time to generate defence mechanism. It is done by generating changes on phagocyte surface. The interaction between adaptive and innate immune system is done with the help of dendritic cell (phagocytes). The phagocyte displays the protein (antigen) of the infected microbe on its surface, this triggers the adaptive immune system. Also, adaptive immune system is triggered by proteins such as PRRs (Pattern recognizing receptors).

In chapter 20 we covered the immune system, both the innate and adaptive. Choose a pathogen and describe how the body will use both innate and adaptive means to combat this pathogen. Get creative with this, there are so many different viruses, bacteria, and parasites that can make us sick! Make sure you mention the disease/parasite/ailment that is caused by the pathogen, what the body does to protect itself innately, and how the body adapts to this.
