The intracellular receptors differ from membrane receptors based on their location. Membrane receptors are usually on the plasma membrane but the intracellular receptors are found inside the cell.

How do the immune cells discover intracellular pathogens?

Immune cells can detect intracellular pathogens through pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that recognize specific pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). When PRRs on immune cells bind to PAMPs, it triggers a signaling cascade that activates the immune response against the intracellular pathogen. This process helps immune cells detect and respond to the presence of intracellular pathogens.
