Question
Chapter 15, Problem 3TMW
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The reason that why pathogen-associated patterns (PAMPs) are necessary for Toll-like receptors (TLRs) to fully function.
Introduction:
Immune response is a response of the body towards foreign particle which activates the immune system of host. The body mechanisms which protects against the infections include innate and adaptive defense. Innate is the non specific type of defense of body which develops quickly. It provides general response regardless of pathogen type and exposure numbers. It nonspecifically kills the pathogen that invades the body. Innate mechanism includes mechanical barrier, natural killer cell, species resistance, chemical barriers, fever, inflammation and phagocytosis.
