What is Innate Immunity?
Innate immunity is a body’s quick immune response against “foreign” pathogens performed by neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, mast cells, monocytes, macrophages, natural killer cells and platelets. The immune system will treat cancer cells from different species as “foreign” and launch innate immune responses against them within 4-6 hours. Thus, using CancerVaccine™ or enriched cancer stem cells or CancerStemCell™ to vaccinate a different species may elicit innate immunity but may not be able to prevent cancer since the corresponding immune responses might not be cancer cell or pre-cancer cell specific.
