Characterisation of innate fungal recognition in the lung.

Characterisation of innate fungal recognition in the lung.

The innate recognition of fungi by leukocytes is mediated by pattern recognition receptors (PRR), such as Dectin-1, and is thought to occur at the cell surface triggering intracellular signalling cascades which lead to the induction of protective host responses.
