Pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) are small molecular motifs conserved within a class of microbes, but not present in the host. [1] They are recognized by toll-like receptors (TLRs) and other pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) in both plants and animals. [ 2 ]
Function of T helper cells: Antigen-presenting cells present antigens on their Class II MHC molecules . Helper T cells recognize these by expressing the CD4 co-receptor . The activation of a resting helper T cell causes it to release cytokines and other signals (green arrows) that stimulate the activity of macrophages , killer T cells , and B ...
The microbe-specific molecules that are recognized by a given PRR are called pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and include bacterial carbohydrates (such as lipopolysaccharide or LPS, mannose), nucleic acids (such as bacterial or viral DNA or RNA), bacterial peptides (flagellin, microtubule elongation factors), peptidoglycans and ...
In contrast to the noninfectious inflammatory response produced by DAMPs, pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) initiate and perpetuate the infectious pathogen-induced inflammatory response. [6] Many DAMPs are nuclear or cytosolic proteins with defined intracellular function that are released outside the cell following tissue injury. [7]
The same cells that recognize PAMPs on microbial pathogens may bind to the antigen of a foreign blood cell and recognize it as a pathogen because the antigen is unfamiliar. [11] It is not easy to classify red blood cell recognition as intrinsic or extrinsic, as a foreign cell may be recognized as part of the organism if it has the right antigens.
Eat-me signals mark the apoptotic cells for phagocytes which can subsequently engulf them and actively prevent the inflammation.Various molecular markers can serve as eat-me signals, particularly a change in composition of the cell membrane, [3] modifications of molecules on the cell surface, changed charge on the plasma membrane, or indirectly the extracellular bridging molecules.
