Patogeeneilla

Patogeeneilla, also known as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), are conserved molecular structures found on the surface of pathogens. They are recognized by the host's immune system as foreign invaders, triggering an immune response. PAMPs are distinct from pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), which are molecular patterns found on the surface of pathogens that are recognized by the host's immune system. PAMPs are recognized by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) on immune cells, such as Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptors (NLRs). The recognition of PAMPs by PRRs initiates a cascade of immune responses, including the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, the activation of immune cells, and the induction of antimicrobial peptides. PAMPs play a crucial role in the innate immune response, providing the first line of defense against infection. They are found in various pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Examples of PAMPs include lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in Gram-negative bacteria, flagellin in bacteria, and double-stranded RNA in viruses. The study of PAMPs and their interaction with the immune system is an active area of research in immunology and infectious disease. Understanding the role of PAMPs in the immune response can lead to the development of new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of infectious diseases.
