Peptidoglycan in bacterial cell walls is sensed by multiple pattern ... immune system and promote host defence against bacterial infection. We further explore the role of peptidoglycan recognition ...

This process, termed clonal selection, accounts for most of the basic ... immune system. Endocytic pattern-recognition receptors, such as the macrophage mannose receptor, bind to components ...

Innate immune recognition is mediated by pattern ... system can signal the presence of microorganisms. The recognition of viruses also partly follows this principle. However, because all viral ...

In humans, pattern-recognition systems in the intestine involving Toll-like receptors scan the physical structure of different bacteria to sense the presence of infectious microorganisms.
