Using a summary format, compare the key characteristics of the adaptive and innate immune systems. For the two groups, provide a list of key factors (e.g., interferons (innate), complement (innate), neutrophils (innate), macrophages (innate), antibodies (adaptive), T cells (adaptive), NK cells (innate), B cells (adaptive)) and what each factor/cell does in contributing to immunity.
