What is the innate immune response?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally: refers to an immune response that occurs in the absence of an antibody nor memory white blood cell response. As an example, there are receptors on white blood cells that recognize the surfaces of many bacteria. When activated, these receptors trigger an immune response regardless of past exposure.
