DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.

PALM: Acronym for "pollen-associated lipid mediators".

General informationThis section has been translated automatically.

Some PALMs are chemotactic for neutrophil and eosinophil granulocytes. Thus, pollen grains can send misdirected danger signals to the innate immune system via PALMs.

Other PALMs, which have a structural similarity to mammalian prostaglandins, model dendritic cells. These induce a TH 2-weighted T-cell response.
