Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innate immunity has a critical role in the early stage of the host defense response by the timely recognition of pathogenic or danger signals by various cell surface or cytoplasmic receptors. This is followed by signal transduction via various adaptor and effector molecules. The main functions of innate immunity are to identify and remove the invading pathogens, to recruit various immune cells to the site of infection, and to prepare the adaptive immune response. The Innate immune system has been intensively studied for several decades and now we can begin to understand this system on a molecular level.
