- Sainmhíniú molecule passively released from dying cells of an organism due to damage, trauma, ischemia, or infection-induced necrosis and which is host cell derived and both initiates and perpetuates innate immune responses Tagairt "COM-Terminology Coordination, based on: Hyong Woo Choi and Daniel F. Klessig. DAMPs, MAMPs, and NAMPs in plant innate immunity. BMC Plant Biol. 2016; 16: 232. (29.3.2019)"
- Nóta It is generally accepted that these defenses help protect the damaged tissue, which is vulnerable to infection due to the disruption of physical barriers that would otherwise prevent microbial ingress. In mammals, inflammation is another component of the innate immune response; it not only helps to prevent/suppress infection, but also aids in healing.
