Her salary and benefits are the direct costs. The indirect costs could include: the Executive Directorâs and board membersâ time to go on donor and prospect visits, creation of materials, and the sending of thank you letters. The total for these direct and indirect costs would be $100,000.
The innate immune system, also known as the nonspecific immune system, is an important subsystem of the overall immune system that comprises the cells and mechanisms that defend the host from infection by other organisms.he cells of the innate system recognize and respond to pathogens in a generic way, but, unlike the adaptive immune system (which is found only in vertebrates), it does not confer long-lasting or protective immunity to the host.
The adaptive immune system is one of the two main immunity strategies found in vertebrates (the other being the innate immune system). Adaptive immunity creates immunological memory after an initial response to a specific pathogen, leads to an enhanced response to subsequent encounters with that pathogen.This process of acquired immunity is the basis of vaccination.Like the innate system, the adaptive system includes both humoral immunity components and cell-mediated immunity components. Unlike the innate immune system, the adaptive immune system is highly specific to a specific pathogen.he major functions of the acquired immune system include: 1  Recognition of specific non-self antigens in the presence of self, during the process of antigen presentation. 2  Generation of responses that are tailored to maximally eliminate specific pathogens or pathogen-infected cells.
