Introduction to Innate Immunity

By now we've introduced a number of elements of the immune system. Now it's time to start learning how these work together to recognize and eliminate pathogens. Let's start by taking a deep dive into the innate immune response. This includes barrier defense, the complement system, the inflammatory response, and innate immune cells. What are all of these components? What do they do? Let's introduce them now so that we can investigate them over the next several tutorials!

This series on the immune system has been innately fantastic! Must admit that I'm looking forward to the upcoming discussions on the adaptive immune system.

Keep up the great work and thank you, Professor Dave!

You are the most nostalgic educational channel out there. My favorite teacher EVER would play your videos every day. Now here I am, still watching during my freshmen year

[PhantmZ_]

This is gonna be a great series because I love immunology and microbiology in general

[rogerstancill]

Great idea for a series Dave. Timely too. I hope you will get into the vitamin and mineral aspect of supporting this important bodily function and system. Thanks

Hello sir, I am from Bangladesh🇧🇩
I always follow your vedios, thank you so much for your efforts

[ayushikhandelwal]

I'll be having my exam very soon, just feeling very sad because I came to know about such a good channel for my exam preparation so late. But would recommend to other ppl.

Your lessons are great. I'm waiting for more to learn immunity in more depth.

[invsg]

Very interesting comprehensive explanation of how immune system works. I like it a lot 👍👍👍

[ronn]

I listen to these kind of things instead of music and I love it.

[yazminricitos]

We are safed by the 5 min YouTube videos thanks , I don’t know what our life wouldn’t been without YouTube

[sciencenerd]

Yep, innate immunity is often underappreciated.
Great video!

Dave, first time on your channel and I've just watched your 'Natural vs Synthetic Vitamin' video.

Question:

What is the actual process of manufacturing vitamins suitable for vegans such as B12?

I'm not only talking about the ingredients, but the whole process...if that makes sense.

Is there petroleum involved at any stage for example?

[Rayzersword]

If only more people would listen to Professor Dave, rather than Rand Paul and Chet Hanks. Keep on fighting the good fight my friend.

[FerdinandTutorials]

Very nice Prof 🤗🤗.
Much love from a Biochemist☑️☑️☑️

[paulanocu]

He explained in 5 minutes what my science teacher took 3 days to do

Dave, got a bit of an interesting question that I don't know if you will be able to answer. Theoretically speaking the closer we get to the speed of light the slower our reference of time becomes. so in theory if we somehow surpass the speed of light time would begin to flow backwards. Now assuming we magically surpass the speed of light do you think we might be able to go fast enough to make time flow forwards again and just how exponentially faster do we need to go to to make it happen?

Great work. Recommending to my students.

I Have Written a short research paper on prime Numbers With Its Help We Can Find Any Place Prime Numbers. My English Is Week So I Try My Best To Explain My Message
So where can I present my paperwork?
Plz help professor

Pleas pleas i have an assignment

What are the limitations of innate immunity in providing long-term protection against infectious agents, and how can these limitations be overcome to develop more effective strategies for preventing and treating infections? If you can answer me i will be thankful 😊
