Pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) are small molecular motifs conserved within a class of microbes, but not present in the host. [1] They are recognized by toll-like receptors (TLRs) and other pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) in both plants and animals. [ 2 ]
Even though, most classes of human pathogens are covered by CLRs, CLRs are a major receptor for recognition of fungi: [15] [16] nonetheless, other PAMPs have been identified in studies as targets of CLRs as well e.g. mannose is the recognition motif for many viruses, fungi and mycobacteria; similarly fucose presents the same for certain ...

In North America the fuel is known as "gasoline" or "gas" for short, and the terms "gas station" and "service station" are used in the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean. In some regions of Canada, the term "gas bar" (or "gasbar") is used. In the rest of the English-speaking world the fuel is known as "petrol".
PAMP may refer to: Pathogen-associated molecular pattern , molecules associated with groups of pathogens PAMP (company) , short for Produits Artistiques Métaux Précieux , a precious metals refining and fabricating company, subsidiary of the Swiss company MKS
The first function described for TLR4 was the recognition of exogenous molecules from pathogens (PAMPs), in particular LPS molecules from gram-negative bacteria. [13] As pattern recognition receptor, TLR4 plays a fundamental role in pathogen recognition and activation of innate immunity which is the first line of defense against invading micro-organisms.
Eat-me signals mark the apoptotic cells for phagocytes which can subsequently engulf them and actively prevent the inflammation.Various molecular markers can serve as eat-me signals, particularly a change in composition of the cell membrane, [3] modifications of molecules on the cell surface, changed charge on the plasma membrane, or indirectly the extracellular bridging molecules.
The inflammasome was discovered by the team of Jürg Tschopp, at the University of Lausanne, in 2002. [17] [18] In 2002, it was first reported by Martinon et al. [17] that NLRP1 (NLR family PYD-containing 1) could assemble and oligomerize into a structure in vitro, which activated the caspase-1 cascade, thereby leading to the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-1β and IL-18.
