Nonspecific immunity, also known as innate immunity, defends against any type of invader including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It is present from birth and does not require previous exposure or memory of the invader. Specific immunity, on the other hand, requires recognition and memory of the invader and is only effective against one type of invader. Cell-mediated immunity and antibody-mediated immunity are both specific immunity responses. Adaptive immunity is a general term that encompasses both nonspecific and specific immunity.
