Question

Why would a cell produce cytokines when a PRR detects microbial components?

PRRS on the cell surface
Detect microbial
components present
in the cell's surroundings.
PRRS in phagosomes
and endosomes
Detect components of
microbes ingested by
the cell.
Endosome or
phagosome
PRRS in the cytoplasm
Detect cell damage as well
as microbial components
in the cell's cytoplasm.
