Specific immunity is the body's learned immune response to disease-causing foreign substances, also referred to as pathogens or antigens. It is also commonly called acquired immunity or adaptive immunity.
Adaptive immunity (also called acquired immunity), a second line of defense against pathogens, takes several days or weeks to fully develop. However, adaptive immunity is much more complex than innate immunity because it involves antigen-specific responses and immunologic memory. Exposure to a specific antigen on an invading pathogen stimulates production of immune cells that target the pathogen for destruction .
