What is the name of the pathogenic sequence that a host cell recognizes as foreign?
A
Pattern recognition receptors
B
PAMPs
C
Toll-like receptors
D
Complement sequences
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the question is asking about a sequence recognized by the host cell as foreign, which is a key concept in immunology.
Identify that PAMPs stands for Pathogen-Associated Molecular Patterns, which are recognized by the immune system as foreign.
Recognize that Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs) are the receptors on host cells that detect PAMPs.
Note that Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a type of PRR that specifically recognize PAMPs.
Complement sequences are part of the immune system but are not directly involved in recognizing PAMPs; they help in the destruction of pathogens once recognized.
