Extracellular pattern recognition molecules in health and diseases
- BiologyCellular and Molecular Immunology
- 2015
Accumulating evidence indicates that extracellular PRMs are important components of the humoral arm of innate immunity, able to recognize a variety of pathogenic agents and eliminate them through shared common mechanisms including complement activation, opsonization, agglutination, neutralization and regulation of inflammation.
Signaling in innate immunity and inflammation.
- BiologyCold Spring Harbor perspectives in biology

Pattern-recognition Receptors in Pulp Defense
- BiologyAdvances in dental research
- 2011
The expression of PRRs in human dental pulp cells are reviewed, namely, receptors from the Toll-like (TLR) and Nod-like NLR families, by which cells recognize bacteria, which represent, in the tooth, the first line of defense for the host.

- 2009
This work shows that phagosomal bacteria such as group B streptococcus, but not cytosolic bacteria, potently induced interferon in conventional dendritic cells by a mechanism that required Toll-like receptor 7, the adaptor MyD88 and the transcription factor IRF1, all of which localized together with bacterial products in degradative vacuoles bearing lysosomal markers.
