Pattern recognition receptors and autophagy [PDF]
The immune system senses exogenous threats or endogenous stress through specialized machinery known as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). These receptors recognize conserved molecular structures and initiate downstream signaling pathways to control ...

Pattern recognition receptors and gastric cancer [PDF]
Chronic inflammation has been associated with an increased risk of several human malignancies, a classic example being gastric cancer (GC). Development of GC is known to result from infection of the gastric mucosa by Helicobacter pylori, which initially ...

Inhibitory pattern recognition receptors. [PDF]
Pathogen- and damage-associated molecular patterns are sensed by the immune system’s pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) upon contact with a microbe or damaged tissue. In situations such as contact with commensals or during physiological cell death, the immune system should not respond to these patterns.

Immunity is based on self/nonself discrimination. In vertebrates, two major systems, innate and adaptive immune systems, constitute host defense against invading microbes. Adaptive immunity is characterized by specific immune responses through B- or T-cell antigen receptors that are generated by somatic recombination, whereas nonspecific responses to ...

Anti-Viral Pattern Recognition Receptors as Therapeutic Targets
Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) play a central role in the inflammation that ensues following microbial infection by their recognition of molecular patterns present in invading microorganisms but also following tissue damage by recognising molecules

Intracellular PRRs Activation in Targeting the Immune Response Against Fungal Infections
The immune response against fungal infections is complex and exhibits several factors involving innate elements that participate in the interaction with the fungus. The innate immune system developed pattern recognition receptors that recognize different
