Multiple Choice
Multiple ChoiceWhy are NOD-like receptors (NLRs) important for macrophage cells?
A
Macrophages commonly ingest infectious material and use NLRs to detect intracellular MAMPs.
B
Macrophages are unstable and commonly have intracellular damage and use NLRs to detect DAMPs.
C
Macrophages use NLRs to detect MAMPs which triggers the formation of RIG-like receptors.
D
Macrophages are the only cells able to detect viral infection and use NLRs to detect viral RNA.
