| Features of bacterial cell walls that are recognized by components of innate immunity | |
|
| Innate immune recognition mechanisms focus on highly conserved features of groups of pathogens that are very hard for these organisms to change. Examples of different targets of innate immunity are shown, including lipopolysaccharide (LPS), peptidoglycan, lipoproteins, lipoteichoic acid (LTA) and porin. |
