Immunization is the means of providing specific protection against most common and damaging pathogens. • The mechanism of immunity depends on the location of the pathogen and the mechanism of its pathogenesis. • If the mechanism of pathogenesis involves exotoxins, the only immune mechanism effective against it would be neutralizing antibodies that would prevent its binding to the appropriate receptor, while promoting its clearance and degradation by phagocytes. • Alternatively, if...

RECEPTORS OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM, PHAGOCYTIC CELLS, AND TOLERANCE Receptors of the innate immune system mediate a number of different functions. Many are phagocytic receptors that stimulate ingestion of the pathogens they recognize. Some are chemotactic receptors, such as the f-Met-Leu-Phe receptor, which binds the N-formylated peptides produced by bacteria, and guides neutrophils to sites of infection. A third function is to induce effector molecules, that cont...
