AB While  simplistic  in  its  view,  the  effectors  of  the  immune  system  are  generally  divided  into  those  components  that  support  innate  immunity  and  those  that  support  acquired  immunity.  The  classification  suggests  a  dichotomous  relationship,  but  there  is  necessary  and  frequent  cross-talk  between  the  2  arms.  Innate  immunity  is  active  from  birth,  is  the  first  line  of  defense  against  most  pathogens,  and  does  not  require  modification  for  activity.  Acquired  immunity  largely  requires  activation  of  B  lymphocytes  and  T  lymphocytes  and  uses  a  complex  process  of  activation,  modification,  expansion,  and  suppression  in  response  to  changing  stimuli.
