Innate immunity – A common theme in mammals, Drosophila and plants (1) Pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMP) are recognized by pattern recognition receptors and trigger expression of immune response genes (Medzhitov, R & Janeway, CA (1997) Cell 91:295-8) LPS from gram-negative bacteria PGN from gram-positive bacteria Fungal glucans, chitin, proteins Eubacterial flagellin (often) abundant structures Surface-exposed structures Not present in hosts Evolutionarily conserved Crucial to the biology of the pathogen Institut of plant biochemistry
