Innate immune recognition is mediated by a system of germline-encoded receptors that
recognize conserved molecular patterns that are associated with microbial pathogens.
These receptors are coupled to signal transduction pathways that control expression of a
variety of inducible immune-response genes. Toll receptors and the associated signaling
pathways of nuclear factor κB may represent the most ancient host defense system found in
mammals, insects and plants.
