  2. Pattern recognition receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_recognition_receptor

    Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) [1] play a crucial role in the proper function of the innate immune system. PRRs are germline-encoded host sensors, which detect molecules typical for the pathogens. [ 2 ]

  3. R gene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_gene

    R genes protein syntheses are a way of identifying the pathogen effectors and stop their infection throughout the plant system. Molecules essential for pathogen defense are pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), wall associated kinase (WAKs), receptors with nucleotide-binding domain (NLRs) and leucine-rich repeats (LRRs). All these R proteins ...

  4. RIG-I-like receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIG-I-like_receptor

    Together with MDA5 (melanoma differentiation-associated 5) and LGP2 (laboratory of genetics and physiology 2), this family of cytoplasmic pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) are sentinels for intracellular viral RNA that is a product of viral infection. The RLR receptors provide frontline defence against viral infections in most tissues.

  5. Pathogen-associated molecular pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathogen-associated...

    They are recognized by toll-like receptors (TLRs) and other pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) in both plants and animals. [2] This allows the innate immune system to recognize pathogens and thus, protect the host from infection. [3]: 494

  6. Inflammasome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflammasome

    Inflammasomes are cytosolic multiprotein complexes of the innate immune system responsible for the activation of inflammatory responses and cell death. [1] [2] They are formed as a result of specific cytosolic pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) sensing microbe-derived pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) from the host cell, or ...

  7. NOD-like receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOD-like_receptor

    They are types of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), [2] and play key roles in the regulation of innate immune response. NLRs can cooperate with toll-like receptors (TLRs) and regulate inflammatory and apoptotic response. NLRs primarily recognize Gram-positive bacteria, whereas TLRs primarily recognize Gram-negative bacteria.

  8. Toll-like receptor 1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toll-like_receptor_1

    Toll-like receptor 1 (TLR1) is a member of the toll-like receptor (TLR) family of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that form the cornerstone of the innate immune system. [5] [6] [7] TLR1 recognizes bacterial lipoproteins and glycolipids in complex with TLR2. TLR1 is a cell surface receptor. [5]

  9. Danger model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danger_model

    Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs) are a family of surface receptors on antigen-presenting cells that includes toll-like receptors (TLRs), nucleotide oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptors, [16] retinoic acid inducible gene-I (RIG-I)-like receptors [17] and C-type lectin-like receptors (CLRs).
