## Innate immunity Innate (or nonadaptive) immune responses to pathogens are less specific but no less important than classical T-cell and B-cell responses to pathogens. The key cellular players in the innate immune system are the macrophages and neutrophils which are the professional phagocytes.
## Innate immunity The innate immune response is the first line of defence against pathogens. Phagocyte recognition and uptake of pathogens involves pattern-recognition molecules such as the macrophage mannose receptor, scavenger receptors and a recently identified family of molecules, the Toll-lik
