X Abstract

Microbial infection elicits host immune responses through germline-encoded pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are evolutionarily conserved membrane-bound PRRs that recognize a broad spectrum of microbial components. Recent studies have clarified that two classes of cytosolic receptors, retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I)-like helicases (RLHs) and nucleotide binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptors (NLRs), play important roles in the cytosolic recognition of invading pathogens. After microbial infection, the host utilizes these receptors differentially to mount robust immune responses. This review will describe pathogen recognition by these receptors, signaling pathways, and their in vivo roles in innate antiviral immunity.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
