Control of antiviral immunity by pattern recognition and the microbiome
15 Dec 2011
Abstract excerpt
Human skin and mucosal surfaces are in constant contact with resident and invasive microbes. Recognition of microbial products by receptors of the innate immune system triggers rapid innate defense and transduces signals necessary for initiating and maintaining the adaptive immune responses. Microbial sensing by innate pattern-recognition receptors is not restricted to pathogens. Rather, proper development,...
