Nature 447:972-8 in 2007). The innate immune system is characterized by a number of receptors, such as toll-like receptors [TLRs], nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain [NOD]-like receptors ...

In some ways this effect, described here as a putative innate immune receptor, is reminiscent of the high level of complexity seen in other innate immune receptors in amphioxus and sea urchins.

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 ...

Innate immune cells exhibit rapid cytotoxic activity ... The T-cells and B-cells in this system have receptors that recognize specific foreign antigens, and they develop long-lasting immune ...

These receptors are part of the innate immune system and serve to instigate an appropriate host response to identify, interrogate, segregate, secure and eliminate the threatening stimulus.

Professor Meghan Morrissey earns an innovation award to program immune cells to attack cancer tumors. #immunotherapy ...

For decades, dogma dictated that the immune system consisted of two separate branches. Cells of the innate system respond rapidly to molecular patterns shared by a broad array of pathogens. Meanwhile, ...

“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 ...

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 ...

"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 ...

The review emphasizes the expression of immune receptors by MKs ... which enable them to detect pathogens and participate in innate and adaptive immunity. MKs also phagocytose fungi and bacteria ...
