List of four major sub-families of Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs).
PRRs | Role | Ref |
---|---|---|
Cytoplasmic Retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) like receptors (RLRs) | Key components for pathogenic RNA recognition and modulate an antiviral immune response. | [5,6] |
Cytosolic nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)- Leucine Rich Repeats (LRR)-containing receptors (NLR) | Regulation of inflammasome reaction and cytokine production. | [7,8] |
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) | Represent an essential innate immune sensor, can be largely classified into two categories. Cell surface TLRs: mainly recognize microbial membrane components such as proteins, lipoproteins, and lipids; Endosomal TLRs: mainly recognize pathogen-derived nucleic acids. | [9,10] |
C-type lectin-like receptors (CLRs) | Expressed on DCs and have a key role in orchestrating the stimulation of signaling pathways that regulate adaptive immune responses. | [11] |
