After completing this section you should be able to perform the following objectives.

1.* State what is meant by pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), and the role PAMPs play in inducing innate immunity.

2. Name at least 5 PAMPS associated with bacteria.

3. Name at least 2 PAMPS associated with viruses.

(*) or (**) = possible discussion question
