The past decade has witnessed tremendous growth in two related fields: innate immunity and microbial pathogenesis. Many pathogens have evolved mechanisms to infect their hosts in the face of a fully functional innate immune system, and there are numerous examples by which pathogens avoid recognition and/or suppress inflammation. In this review, I suggest that pathogens not only survive the innate immune response, but use it to promote their pathogenesis.
在过去十年中,两个相关领域取得了巨大发展:固有免疫和微生物致病机制。面对功能完备的固有免疫系统,许多病原体已进化出感染宿主的机制,而且病原体逃避识别和/或抑制炎症的例子众多。在这篇综述中,我认为病原体不仅能在固有免疫反应中存活,还利用它来促进自身的致病过程。
