Immunity - An Overview

Immunity - a self-defense system of an organism against invading infectious and non-infectious foreign materials. This term comes from a Latin word ''IMMUNIS'' which means "EXEMPT''. The process of immunity in any living organism involves different types of cellular and humoral components. Any response mediated by its component has two main activities -first recognition of that agent and second response against it. The immune system has remarkable capacity to distinguish between itself and a foreign agent. Generally two types of immunity are found-Adaptive or specific and innate or non-specific immunity. The mechanism of non- specific innate immunity exists in the body and doesn't need any memory of earlier contacts, while adaptive one is highly specific for pathogen recognition and needs memory. Innate immune mechanisms help us to protect from those factors which we face in our daily lives as dust, air particles, fluctuation in cold weathers etc. Cellu...
