    GlossaryPattern Recognition Receptors

    proteins that detect pathogens and trigger immune responses

    Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs) are proteins found on or inside cells that recognize and bind to specific patterns found on pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses. These receptors play a crucial role in the immune system by detecting these foreign invaders and initiating an immune response to help protect the body from infections.
