Is the innate immune system selective?
No, the innate immune system is not selective.
The innate immune system is the body's first line of defense against infection and disease. It is made up of a variety of cells and molecules that work together to recognize and destroy foreign invaders, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The innate immune system is not selective in that it does not distinguish between harmful and harmless substances. This means that it can sometimes attack the body's own cells and tissues, leading to autoimmune diseases.
