Receptor-like kinases and pathogen-associated molecular patterns perception in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Comparable to the innate immune response in mammals and insects, plants possess highly specific and sensitive recognition systems for pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), such as bacterial flagellin.

Receptor usage by the Acanthocheilonema viteae-derived immunomodulator, ES-62 [PDF]
ES-62 is an immunomodulatory phosphorylcholine (PC)-containing glycoprotein secreted by the rodent filarial nematode Acanthocheilonema viteae. Previously, the use of knockout mice has revealed the effects of ES-62 on macrophages and dendritic cells to be

Heterogeneity in Fibroblast Proliferation and Survival in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most common form of interstitial lung disease characterized by the persistence of activated myofibroblasts resulting in excessive deposition of extracellular matrix proteins and profound tissue remodeling ...

CpG oligonucleotide activates Toll-like receptor 9 and causes lung inflammation in vivo
Background Bacterial DNA containing motifs of unmethylated CpG dinucleotides (CpG-ODN) initiate an innate immune response mediated by the pattern recognition receptor Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9).

Molecular modeling of an antigenic complex between a viral peptide and a class I major histocompatibility glycoprotein [PDF]
Computer simulation of the conformations of short antigenic peptides (&lo residues) either free or bound to their receptor, the major histocompatibility complex (MHC)- encoded glycoprotein H-2 Ld, was employed to explain experimentally determined ...

LUBAC prevents lethal dermatitis by inhibiting cell death induced by TNF, TRAIL and CD95L
TNF mediated inflammation is critical in autoimmune mediated pathology, however many patients are refractory to current anti-TNF therapeutics. Here the authors show induction of several death ligands, in addition to TNF is sufficient to cause fatal ...

EphA2 is an epithelial cell pattern recognition receptor for fungal β-glucans
Oral epithelial cells discriminate between pathogenic and non-pathogenic stimuli, and only induce an inflammatory response when they are exposed to high levels of a potentially harmful microorganism. The pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) in epithelial

Recognition of Pep-13/25 MAMPs of Phytophthora localizes to an RLK locus in Solanum microdontum
Pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) in plants is mediated by cell surface-localized pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) upon perception of microbe-associated molecular pattern (MAMPs). MAMPs are conserved molecules across microbe species, or even kingdoms,

Detection of conserved microbial patterns by host cell surface pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) activates innate immunity. The FLAGELLIN-SENSITIVE 2 (FLS2) receptor perceives bacterial flagellin and recruits another PRR, BAK1 and the cytoplasmic ...

Lectin receptor kinases in plant innate immunity
A key feature of innate immunity is the ability to recognize and respond to potential pathogens in a highly sensitive and specific manner. In plants, the first layer of defense is induced after recognition by pattern recognition receptors of microbe ...
