TLR4: the fall guy in sepsis? [PDF]
Sepsis and its impact on human health can be traced back to 1000 BC and continues to be a major health burden today. It causes about 11 million deaths world-wide of which, more than a third are due to neonatal sepsis.

Polymorphisms of TLR4: Rapid Genotyping and Reduced Response to Lipopolysaccharide of TLR4 Mutant Alleles [PDF]
AbstractBackground: Pathogen recognition receptors such as Toll-like receptors (TLRs), which recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns, lead to the activation of innate immunity. Genetic variations in these receptors may lead to an altered host immune response to pathogens.Methods: We developed homogeneous fluorescence-based PCR assays as well ...

Polymorphism study of TLR4 gene in crossbred cattle of Kerala [PDF]
The present study was conducted to identify single nucleotide variations in exon 3 region of the bovine Toll-Like Receptor gene (TLR4) associated with somatic cell score (SCS) in crossbred cattle of Kerala using polymerase chain reaction-single ...

Effects of Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide on innate immunity: The expression profile of TLR4 and CD14 genes in rat's liver [PDF]
Background: Bacterial Endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide) is essential for bacterial virulence, as it has a biphasic effect which is either harmful and leads to aseptic shock and death or assists the body defense mechanisms as it stimulates B-cells activation.

Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4): new insight immune and aging
TLR4, a transmembrane receptor, plays a central role in the innate immune response. TLR4 not only engages with exogenous ligands at the cellular membrane’s surface but also interacts with intracellular ligands, initiating intricate intracellular ...

TLR4 and Insulin Resistance [PDF]
Chronic inflammation is a key feature of insulin resistance and obesity. Toll-Like Receptor 4 (TLR4), involved in modulating innate immunity, is an important mediator of insulin resistance and its comorbidities. TLR4 contributes to the development of insulin resistance and inflammation through its activation by elevated exogenous ligands (e.g., dietary

Background Well-balanced interactions between gut microbiota and the immune system are essential to prevent chronic intestinal inflammation, as observed in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) functions as a sensor mediating the
