Certain toxins can modulate the innate immune response, either enhancing or suppressing it. For instance, bacterial endotoxins can trigger a strong inflammatory response, while others might suppress immune function, allowing pathogens to evade detection. Understanding how different toxins affect innate immunity can inform therapeutic strategies to mitigate their harmful effects.
