Microorganisms are sensed by cells that express pattern recognition receptors, such as Toll - like receptors, which recognize patterns specific to those microbes. (science.sciencemag.org)
Pattern recognition receptors TLR4 and CD14 mediate response to respiratory syncytial virus. (nature.com)
Beginning with the pathogen pattern recognition receptors (PPRRs), the signal travels like clockwork through various molecular components and culminates in interferon beta gene regulation. (sbgrid.org)
