Figure 1 Host Gene Signatures: A New Approach for Diagnosis of Infectious Diseases (A) Different classes of pathogens trigger specific pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) differentially expressed on immune cells and elicit distinct immune responses. (B) Using microarray technology, we can measure the differences in gene expression patterns present in blood immune cells as induced by various types of infectious agents.
