Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain the innate immune response and its components and mechanisms in animals and plants, describe its relation to adaptive immunity and disease, and support learning in immunology.

The rapid, non-specific first line of defence against pathogens and damage present in animals and, in analogous form, in plants, comprising physical barriers, phagocytic cells, natural killer cells, inflammation, antimicrobial molecules and the complement system activated by classical, lectin and alternative pathways, and in plants disease resistance responses such as the hypersensitive response; innate immunity acts without prior exposure, shows some forms of trained memory, and primes the adaptive immune response.

What it is for: Non-specific first-line immune defence.

It can be explain components and mechanisms; describe relation to adaptive immunity; relate to disease generally; support learning.

Distinguishing features

Non-specific

Rapid

Germline-encoded receptors

Present in plants and animals

What it looks like

Not visible; cellular and molecular processes.

How it is recognised

Rapid non-specific defence

Barriers, phagocytes, complement, inflammation

Adaptive immunity is specific and involves lymphocytes with memory
