The assembly of these gene elements is initiated by the lymphoidspecific rag1 and rag2 proteins which cleave the dna near the v, d, and j segments and the gene segments are rejoined by a collection of nonlymphoidspecific dna repair enzymes including dnadependent protein kinase dnapk, ku, xrcc4, xlf, dna ligase iv, and the artemis. Once an antigen has been recognized, the adaptive immune system creates an army of immune cells specifically designed to attack that antigen. Innate immunity occurs naturally because of genetic factors or physiology.
