Description: | Innate immune system provides the first line of host defense against microbial infections. Several classes of microbial sensors of the innate immune system have now been identified.
Upon activation, these sensors directly induce anti-microbial mechanisms. In addition, they trigger activation of inflammatory response, as well as activation of adaptive immunity. The complex interplay between microbial pathogens, innate immune sensors and activation of the adaptive immune responses will be the subject of this lecture. The NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series includes weekly scientific talks by some of the top researchers in the biomedical sciences worldwide. |
