Solution
A non-specific form of defense that exists from birth is called innate immunity. This is achieved by putting in place various kinds of barriers that prevent foreign substances from entering our bodies. While cytokine barriers release interferons that shield healthy cells from viral infection, cellular barriers phagocytose and eliminate microorganisms.
