Innate immunity is present naturally in the body right from the birth.This stops the invasion of microorganisms entering into the body .This is the first line of immune defense. If this fails the disease causing agent enters the inner body . After this the natural immunity like white blood cells in the body reacts and destroys the antigen .The innate immune organs is skin others are tears, enzymes gastric juices, WBC ,etc.,

Adaptive immunity or acquired immunity is produced by the body after the invasion of an antigen and it is destroyed .Here the T cells and the B cells are produced and it destroys the antigen.
