Innate immune sensing and response

Table of Contents: “…Contents: Sensing infection is essential to the initiation of an immune response -- The innate immune system senses signature molecules made by microbes using a conserved set of germline-encoded receptors -- This receptor family (the Toll-like receptors) was first understood when a mutation that abolished lipopolysaccharide (LPS) sensing was positionally cloned in mice -- In Drosophila a homologous receptor is also used to detect infection, and still another receptor activates a pathway evocative of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) pathway in mammals -- Further work in mammals has depended upon gene targeting and also forward genetic work, which has revealed many of the components of the TLR signaling apparatus -- Forward genetics has also allowed us to see how many genes (and what kinds of genes) are important for resisting an infection in vivo.…”
