Title: Pattern recognition receptors in equine endotoxaemia and sepsis Cord-id: ldvspikx Document date: 2012_5_20
ID: ldvspikx
Snippet: Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) on host cells detect pathogens to activate innate immunity which, in turn, initiates inflammatory and adaptive immune responses. Successful activation of PRRs is, therefore, critical to controlling infections and driving pathogenâ€specific adaptive immunity, but overactivity of PRRs causes systemic inflammation, which is detrimental to the host. Here we review the PRR literature as it relates to horses and speculate on the role PRRs may play in sepsis and en
