Matching For each of the descriptions of a component of the innate immune system in questions, select the term that best matches it from the list below (A-J). -Plasma protein that serves as a soluble pattern recognition receptor binding to microbial cells but not to mammalian cells

The signaling pathways triggered by Toll-like receptors typically result in activation of which of the following pairs of transcription factors?

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a family of homologous receptors expressed on many cell types and are involved in innate immune responses. Ten different mammalian TLRs have been identified, and several ligands for many of these receptors are known. Which of the following is a TLR ligand?

Toll-like receptors and other receptors are potent activators of various components of the innate immune system. All of the following proteins are expressed in response to signaling by these receptors EXCEPT:
