Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Innate immune responses are immediate and do not require previous exposure to a microbe. They are not specific to a particular type of pathogen, but rather react to common features shared by many pathogens. Acquired immune responses, on the other hand, are more specific and require previous exposure to a particular microbe. The terms adaptive and inductive are often used interchangeably with acquired immune responses. Intuitive is not a term used in immunology.
