Question
Chapter 15, Problem 3TMW
Summary Introduction
To tell:
Pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) are necessary for the full function of toll-like receptors.
Introduction:
The immune system involves several mechanisms to protect the host from the foreign substances to provide immunity. The innate is the non-specific defense mechanism, which acts immediately after the exposure of antigens or foreign substances on the body.
