  2. 2. Protection that an individual is born with to fight infection such as neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, and NK cells. It is not antigen-specific and does not elicit memory.
  3. 3. T cells (cytotoxic, helper and suppressor) respond to antigens and destroy them; a type of adaptive immunity.
  4. 5. Weakened or dead antigen is given to induce production of antibodies. This results in adaptive immunity.
