17
Q

early induced innate response occurs within _

A

4-96 hours; infection –> recruitment of effectors –> PAMP recognition for inflammation –> removal

18
Q

adaptive immune response occurs within _

A

more than 96 hours; infection –> transport of antigen to lymphoid organs –> recognition by naive B and T cells –> clonal expansion and differentiation –> removal

specificity inherited in the genome

A

innate cells
