Immunopathogenesis in Chlamydia trachomatis Infected Women
Figure 1
Modified from den Hartog et al. 2006 [3]. The innate immune response starts by binding of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) to the cells receptors (PRRs). This activates the nuclear factor (NF)-κB that binds to specific DNA sequences in the nucleus, inducing the production of proinflammatory cytokines.
