The adaptive immune system is a subdivision of the immune system developed after birth in response to exposure to different microbes or diseases. Unlike the innate immune system, it responds slowly but is highly specialized. It delivers a targeted response against invading foreign particles and comes to action when the innate immune system fails to control germs from spreading or causing disease. B and T lymphocytes are part of the body’s adaptive immune system.
