Is Your Microbiota Detecting Microbes?
Kafna: Do you think there are situations in which the microbe wants to induce an inflammatory response? Kafna: Many very rapidly reproducing lytic viruses stimulate apoptosis to get out of the cell, I think. Because how else? Because you carry out a virus that do not make lysines like phages do. Right. So if you knock out total like receptors or mighty 88, it is kind of the central regulator of many total like receptors signaling. It would suggest then that our innate immune system is detecting the microbes that naturally inhabit our bodies.
