Adaptive immunity is highly specific to particular pathogens and can be either temporarily borrowed from an artificial source (passive immunity) or can be permanently acquired through the body's own immunological memory (active immunity).
Since there were many similarities in the pathological progress of obesity and T2DM, which are tightly linked, altered proliferation, function, or infiltration of components of
adaptive immunity and innate immunity is critical in the progression of T2DM.

adaptive immunity. Cell Mol Life Sci 2001;58:978-89.

adaptive immunity in bacteria.
A unique feature of the
adaptive immunity is its ability to generate and to retain memory providing a more rapid response in the event of subsequent immunologic challenge.
Innate immunity: The host immunity is divided into innate and
adaptive immunity. The innate immunity is also termed as non-specific immunity, which acts as first line of bastille against infectious agents like intracellular bacteria (e.g.
This group found that mice deficient in FLG developed a skin inflammation analogous to AD (and driven by innate immunity), then later developed compromised lung function (a process resulting from
adaptive immunity).
Sympathetic hearing loss (SHL), also known as sympathetic cochleolabyrinthitis, is a rare phenomenon of immune-related hearing loss that is believed to occur when
adaptive immunity develops due to exposure of sequestered inner ear antigens to the surrounding circulatory milieu.

adaptive immunity, clinical immunology, Basic principles and application of immunological and serological techniques.
Consequently, tumor cells are eliminated by
adaptive immunity through the activation of cytotoxic CD[8.sup.+] T-cells and NK-cells, and by innate immunity through the activation of antitumor macrophages (M1 subtype), antitumor neutrophils (N1 subtype), and granulocytes [3].
The
adaptive immunity, on the other hand, is more of an antigen-specific response, triggered only when the innate immune system has failed to overwhelm the infection.
