It explains the role of innate immune cells, such as neutrophils, macrophages, and dendritic cells, in phagocytosis. The lecture also discusses the mechanisms of innate immunity, including phagocytosis, degranulation, interferons, and peptides, as well as the activation of the innate immune system by infectious agents.
