What are examples of plasma proteins?
Complement
Mannose-binding
Lung surfactant
What are the extracellular PAMPs?
TLR
Lectin
What are the cytosoloic PAMPs and what do they recognize?
NOD-like receptor - bacterial peptidoglycan, products of damaged cells
RIG-like receptor - viral RNA
Endosomal - nucleic acid of ingested microbes
TLRs trigger activation of what TF?
What else do they stimulate?
NF-KB
IRFs -> type I IFN for antiviral protection
What do NOD-like receptors recognize?
Signal what?
Products of necrotic cells (uri's acid and ATP) Ion disturbances (loss of K+)
Inflammasome
The NLR-inflammasome pathway may play a role in what?
Gout

NLRP-inflammasome complex signals what?
End result?
Caspase-1
Secreted IL-1B and acute inflammation –> Fever
C-type Lectin receptors detect what?
Fungal glycans and elicit inflammatory reactions
RIG like receptors detect what?
