Pattern-recognition molecules are receptors of the innate immune system that recognize common molecular patterns on pathogen surfaces.

sirolimus

Biology; Immunology

Sirolimus is the drug name that has been adopted for the chemical rapamycin; the two terms are used interchangeably in the literature.

pattern recognition receptors
