Innat immunitet: Non-specifikt forsvar
Det innate immunrespons er hurtigt og antigen-uafhængigt
Innat immunitet, kroppens første forsvarslinje, er non-specifikt og aktiveres uafhængigt af antigener, hvilket muliggør hurtig identifikation og elimination af fremmede trusler.1 Adskillige celletyper er involveret i det innate immunrespons, bl.a. makrofager, neutrofiler, dendritceller, mastceller, basofile celler, eosinofile celler, NK-celler (Natural Killer cells).1
NK-celler er en del af den første forsvarslinje mod cancer
