Although many CLRs are PRRs that promote synergistic immune responses with other innate receptors, some CLRs (such as the activating natural killer cell receptor Ly49) probably bind host-derived ...

The common and important infectious viruses in pigs and poultry mainly include DNA and RNA viruses, which pose significant threats to both animal and human ...

"What was striking was that the innate immune system, which includes the ... Higher levels of soluble tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptors were found in the stroma of control mice compared ...

In this review, we examine host-pathogen interactions through the Toll-like receptors and Nod signaling systems as principal mechanisms of the innate immune response, and explore the application ...

“So something that me and you would barely sense—because they have more of these receptors, they’re hyper-responding.” After a virus infects us, Bogunovic says that our bodies harness the power of our ...

A group of immune proteins called the inflammasome can help prevent blood stem cells from becoming malignant by removing certain receptors from their surfaces and blocking cancer gene activity, ...
