Innate Immunity and Pattern Recognition Receptors
The chapter explains the distinction between innate and adaptive immunity, highlighting the initial defense mechanisms of innate immunity such as mucosal barriers and primary immune cells. It explores the crucial role of pattern recognition receptors in detecting pathogens and initiating immune responses, drawing parallels between immune detection and sensory perception systems. The discussion delves into the evolution of the innate immune system across animal species, emphasizing the diversity of immune responses and the impact of lifestyle and diet on immune system adaptation.
