Summary Introduction
Introduction:
To detect the pathogens, the innate immune system has receptors referred asPRRs (pattern recognition receptors). They are strategically present on the cell surface to recognize the PAMPs (pathogen-associated molecular patterns). PAMPs are the pathogenic specific molecular entities, which serve as a sort of marker for pathogens and which are detected by the PRRs. PAMPs are usually those structures or molecular sequences that are necessary for the survival of the pathogens. PRRs can recognize a variety of pathogens and stimulate an immune response.
