innate immune response

Innate immune responses are defense responses mediated by germline encoded components that directly recognize components of potential pathogens.

obsolete MAPK cascade involved in innate immune response

OBSOLETE. A MAPK cascade that contributes to an innate immune response, a defense response mediated by germline encoded components that directly recognize components of potential pathogens.

antiviral innate immune response

A defense response against viruses mediated through an innate immune response. An innate immune response is mediated by germline encoded components that directly recognize components of potential pathogens.

antibacterial innate immune response

An defense response against a bacteria mediated through an innate immune response. An innate immune response is mediated by germline encoded components that directly recognize components of potential pathogens.

antifungal innate immune response

An defense response against a fungus mediated through an innate immune response. An innate immune response is mediated by germline encoded components that directly recognize components of potential pathogens.

melanization defense response

The blackening of the wounded area of the cuticle or the surface of invading pathogens, parasites or parasitoids, resulting from a proteolytic cascade leading to the de novo synthesis and deposition of melanin.

neutrophil extracellular trap formation

The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form a neutrophil extracellular trap, a network of extracellular fibers primarily composed of DNA from neutrophils, which bind and neutralizes pathogens.

mucociliary clearance

The respiratory system process driven by motile cilia on epithelial cells of the respiratory tract by which mucus and associated inhaled particles and pathogens trapped within it are moved out of the airways.

obsolete MAPK import into nucleus involved in innate immune response

OBSOLETE. The directed movement of a MAP kinase to the nucleus in the context of an innate immune response, a defense response mediated by germline encoded components that directly recognize components of potential pathogens.

obsolete activation of MAPK activity involved in innate immune response

OBSOLETE. Any process that initiates the activity of the inactive enzyme MAP kinase in the context of an innate immune response, a defense response mediated by germline encoded components that directly recognize components of potential pathogens.
