Which of the following pathogen components would be least likely to be a Pathogen Associated Molecular Pattern (PAMP) that activates the innate immune system? Select one: a. Peptidoglycan, a key structural component of the cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria b. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a structural part of Gram-negative bacterial outer membranes c. Flagellin, the major protein of the flagellum that helps some bacterial species to be able to move and invade tissues d. Double-stranded viral RNA, a form of RNA that is produced by many viruses during their replication e. Neuraminidase, a highly mutatable enzyme that enables influenza virions to be released from infected cells and which is used in most flu vaccines
