Question

Although innate immune cells are unable to detect specific antigens, the adaptive immune system is able of collaborating with innate immune cells to direct their attacks against pathogens. Describe three ways in which innate immune cells can be specifically directed against pathogens by the adaptive immune system.

Answer 1

Innate immune cells are those cells that mediated innate immunity like basophil, eosinophil, and langurs cells. The important component of the innate immune system involves physical as well as anatomical behavior which has effector cells. Skin and mucosa responsible to provide effective immune barriers both internal as well as external environments.

The adaptive immune system is capable of collaborating with the innate immune cells by combating the pathogens. They activate the macrophages by the cell to cell contact. Cells that are involved in the adaptive immune system are lymphocytes that are derived from the bone marrow. These are the cells in the thymus that differentiated in the cells and participates in the maturation of lymphocyte. The pathogens can also be identified by a variety of immune cells like macrophage and pathogen-associated molecular patterns.

The three different ways in which the innate immune cells are directed against the pathogens by the adaptive immune system are neutralization, opsonization, and complement activation. In the process of neutralization, the cells with the receptors are observed for the toxin. The second way of opsonization the macrophages are formed. The component activation takes place in which the antibody target the pathogen for their toxic product with the help of the disposal of pathogen.
