Study Notes
Innate Immunity
- Innate immunity is the first line of defense.
- It is not specific to a particular pathogen.
- It is common to any foreign molecule or antigen.
Phagocytosis
- Phagocytosis is the process by which phagocytic cells, such as PMNs, recognize, ingest, and destroy pathogens.
Innate Immunity in Respiratory Tract
- Lysozymes and IgA are examples of chemical barriers in the respiratory tract.
Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs)
- TLRs are a family of conserved pattern recognition receptors (PRRs).
- They recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs).
