Multi-receptor detection of individual bacterial products by the innate immune system

Nature Reviews Immunology 17, 376 (2017). doi:10.1038/nri.2017.25 Authors: Karen J. Kieser & Jonathan C. Kagan The receptors of the innate immune system detect specific microbial ligands to promote effective inflammatory and adaptive immune responses. Although this idea is well appreciated, studies in recent years have highlighted the complexity of innate immune detection, with multiple host receptors recognizing the same microbial
