The innate system is one among the 2 main immunity strategies found in vertebrates (the other being the adaptive immune system). The innate system is an older evolutionary defense strategy, relatively speaking, and is that the dominant system response found in plants, fungi, insects, and primitive multicellular organisms.

The innate system is one among the 2 main immunity strategies found in vertebrates (the other being the adaptive immune system). The innate system is an older evolutionary defense strategy, relatively speaking, and is that the dominant system response found in plants, fungi, insects, and primitive multicellular organisms.

The major functions of the vertebrate innate system include:

• Activation of the complement cascade for identification of active cells, bacteria, and promote clearance of antibody complexes or dead cells

• Identification, removal of foreign substances present in tissues, organs, lymph and blood, by specialized white blood cells

• Activation of the immune system which is adaptive through a process known as antigen presentation.

• Transferring immune cells by the production of chemical factors, to sites of infection, including specialized chemical mediators called cytokines.
