What are Pathogen Associated Molecular Patterns (PAMPs)?
Pathogen Associated Molecular Patterns (PAMPs) are essential molecular structures found on the surface of many pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. These conserved molecular signatures are recognized by the host's immune system as foreign, triggering an immune response. PAMPs are crucial in the context of histology because they help in understanding how the body identifies and responds to infectious agents at a cellular level.
