Abstract:
We live in an environment that is highly contaminated with diseases and infections. Our body's immune system plays a significant role in overcoming this. They create a barrier against the microorganism. Immune dysfunction can lead to several disorders like cancer, allergy, asthma, arthritis and infection. Immunity is composed of two types: innate and adaptive immunity. Immune cells are involved in the phagocytosis of the microorganism. Cells may be of the myeloid and lymphoid progenitors. It involves neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, natural killer cells, dendritic cells, and mast cells. These cells activate by recognizing potentially harmful molecules through their pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). PRRs can be categorised into different types of receptors. These include membrane-bound receptors such as TLRs (Toll-like receptors) and CLRs (C-type lectin receptors), as well as cytoplasmic receptors like RIG-1-like receptors (RLRs) and NOD-like receptors (NLRs). Cytokines are small secreted proteins that
