Natural adjuvants: Endogenous activators of dendritic cells
TL;DR: It is reported here that, in the absence of any foreign substances, dendritic cells can be activated by endogenous signals received from cells that are stressed, virally infected or killed necrotically, but not by healthy cells or those dying apoptotically.

Innate immunity: impact on the adaptive immune response
TL;DR: The intent in this review is to point out the similarities and differences in these two types of host response to infection, and to indicate the present level of understanding of how these can be integrated into a more complete description of the immune response.

The History of Toll-like Receptors - Redefining Innate Immunity
TL;DR: Toll-like receptors have a central role in immunity — in this Timeline article, the landmark findings that gave rise to this important field of research are described.
The roles of TLRs, RLRs and NLRs in pathogen recognition
Taro Kawai,Shizuo Akira +1 more
TL;DR: Recent insights into pathogen sensing by PRRs are summarized and specific signaling pathways that lead to expression of genes that tailor immune responses to particular microbes are summarized.
Innate immune recognition: mechanisms and pathways
TL;DR: The innate immune system is an evolutionarily ancient form of host defense found in most multicellular organisms as discussed by the authors, which is triggered upon pathogen recognition by a set of pattern recognition receptors.
