Innate immune response — role?
Immediate, non-specific defense against pathogens.
Immediate innate immune response — timing?
Occurs within minutes to hours after infection.
Pattern Recognition Receptors — function?
Detect microbial PAMPs to activate innate responses.
PAMPs — definition?
Molecular motifs unique to microbes.
Innate immunity — memory?
Lacks immunological memory.
Innate vs adaptive — which is faster?
Innate immunity is immediate.
Inflammation — innate role?
Contain infection and activate adaptive immunity.
Pattern Recognition Receptors — function?
Detect PAMPs to activate immune responses.
Cells involved in innate immunity?
Macrophages, neutrophils, NK cells.
