Examples in Context

  1. The innate immune system recognizes pathogen associated molecular patterns through a series of pattern recognition receptors.
  2. Agglutinin is a kind of protein or glycoprotein that interacts with carbohydrates. It can function as pattern recognition receptors and play an important role in the innate immune system and development of insects.
  3. Recognition of pathogens by pattern recognition receptors can trigger activation of a serine protease cascade.
  4. As important pattern recognition receptors, peptidoglycan recognition proteins, which are highly conserved from insects to humans, can recognize peptidoglycan and peptidoglycan containing bacteria and have important functions in recognition and regulation both in innate and adaptive immunity.
  5. C-type lectin receptors ( CLR ), which play an important role in the immune response, are a new family of pattern recognition receptors.
