[Toll-like receptor and innate immunity in phylogenesis].
In protection against microbes, an organism recognizes the pathogen associated molecular pattern (PAMP) on microbes by pattern recognition receptor (PRR). Toll-like receptor is called innate immunity. A family of cell membrane receptor was found in recent years that can mediate innate immune responses through the activation of a series of immune-related genes. In phylogenesis, it is highly conservative. However, its functions are getting more diversified with the complication of the immune functions of organisms.
