Questão 5
Questão
What makes an ideal PAMP?
Questão 6
Questão
What makes an ideal PAMP?
Questão 7
Questão
Why must we have a signal for pathogen vs self as well as for dangerous vs non dangerous?
Responda
-
Because if we react to self antigen our immune system attacks our own bodies
-
Because many of the organisms in our body are commensals and killing them could lead to opportunistic infections
-
Because two signals allow are more controlled reaction
-
So that if you get one signal and not the other only a small or no response occurs. Minimises damage.
