Comparison Of Innate And Adaptive Immunity

Comparison between Innate and Adaptive Immunity Primary cells Origin of cells Site of maturation

Location of mature cell

Primary secretory product

Primary actions Allergic Reaction

Histamin, complement, prostaglandin, leukotrienes, kinins and interferons

Inflamatory response and phagocytosis

Innate Immunity Neutrophils, Red bone marrow eosinophils, basophils, mast cells, monocytes and macrophages

Red bone Blood, connective marrow(Neutroph tissue and ils, eosinophils, lymphatic tissue basophils and monocytes) and tissues (mast cell and macrophages)

None

Adaptive immunity Antibodymediated immunity B cells

Red bone marrow Red bone marrow Blood and lymphatic tissue

Antibodies

Protection against Immediate extracellular hypersensitivity antigens

Cell-mediated immunity T cells

Red bone marrow Thymus

Cytokines

Protection against Delay intracellular hypersensitivity antigens( viruses and intracellular bacteria) and tumors; responsible for graft rejection

Blood and lymphatic tissue
