A group of PRRs that binds to PAMPs and communicates with the phagocytic nucleus to mount a response. These receptors are found on the surface of phagocytes or in interior compartments, the latter of which could be useful for detecting intracellular pathogens.

Structures that allow phagocytes to detect PAMPs. PRRs on macrophages can also detect cell distress signals to mount inflammatory responses against injuries and other diseases. Ex.: Toll-like receptors
