AB The  innate  immune  system  is  composed  of  physical  barriers,  cells,  and  circulating  factors  that  are  always  active  and  ready  to  repel  microbes.  They  form  a  boundary  between  your  tissues  and  the  vast  majority  of  viruses,  bacteria,  and  fungi  that  live  on  and  inside  you.  Innate  immune  cells  are  also  important  for  cleaning  up  debris  from  dying  cells  and  repairing  damaged  tissues.
