3 ways explained that the innate and adaptive immune system overlap
The dendritic cells and macrophages of the innate immunity stimulate the lymphocytes that begin the adaptive immunity. These cells present the microbes on their surface to present the antigen to T cells and then cell get stimulated to release the cytokines.
Both these pathways also overlap with the pathways that sense the tissue damage. TLRs and PRR interaction pathway is also an overlapping reagion.
