Mycobacterial Infection in TLR2 and TLR6 Knockout Mice [PDF]
AbstractTo investigate the role of TLR in the development of murine tuberculosis in vivo, TLR2 and TLR6 knockout (KO) mice were infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis by placing them in the exposure chamber of an airborne infection apparatus. Both TLR2 and TLR6 KO mice survived until sacrifice at 12 weeks after infection.

A TLR6 polymorphism is associated with increased risk of Legionnaires’ disease [PDF]
Legionella pneumophila (Lp), the etiologic agent of Legionnaires' disease (LD), is an important cause of community-acquired and nosocomial pneumonia. However, the host immune and genetic determinants of human susceptibility to Lp are poorly understood. Here we show that both TLR6 and TLR1 cooperate with TLR2 to recognize Lp in transfected HEK293 cells.

TLR1- and TLR6-independent Recognition of Bacterial Lipopeptides [PDF]
Bacterial cell walls contain lipoproteins/peptides, which are strong modulators of the innate immune system. Triacylated lipopeptides are assumed to be recognized by TLR2/TLR1-, whereas diacylated lipopeptides use TLR2/TLR6 heteromers for signaling. Following our initial discovery of TLR6-independent diacylated lipopeptides, we could now characterize ...

TLR6: A novel member of an expanding Toll-like receptor family
Gene, 1999Drosophila Toll protein is shown to activate the innate immune system in adult and regulate the dorsoventral patterning in the developing embryo. Recently, five human homologs of Drosophila Toll, designated as Toll-like receptors (TLRs), have been identified and shown to play a role in the innate immune response.

Porcine TLR2 and TLR6: Identification and Their Involvement in Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae Infection
Journal of Interferon & Cytokine Research, 2003We successfully cloned and sequenced porcine toll-like receptor (TLR2) and TLR6 cDNA from porcine alveolar macrophages stimulated with 10 microg/ml lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The open reading frames (ORFs) of the porcine TLR2 and TLR6 cDNA were shown to be 2358 and 2391 bp in length and to encode 785 and 796 amino acids, respectively.

Deleterious intestinal inflammation in neonatal mice treated with TLR2/TLR6 agonists
Journal of Leukocyte BiologyAbstract By providing innate immune modulatory stimuli, the early-life immune system can be enhanced to increase resistance to infections. Activation of innate cell surface receptors called pattern recognition receptors by Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands is one promising approach that can help to control infections as described for ...

Role of TLR1, TLR2 and TLR6 in the modulation of intestinal inflammation and Candida albicans elimination [PDF]
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are the major pattern recognition receptors that mediate sensing of a wide range of microorganisms. TLR2 forms heterodimers with either TLR1 or TLR6, broadening its ligand diversity against pathogens. TLR1, TLR2 and TLR6 have been implicated in the recognition of Candida albicans, an opportunistic fungal pathogen that ...

Association of TLR1, TLR2, TLR4, TLR6, and TIRAP polymorphisms with disease susceptibility
Immunologic Research, 2015Toll like receptors (TLRs) play a crucial role in regulation of innate as well as adaptive immunity. TLRs recognize a distinct but limited repertoire of conserved microbial products. Ligand binding to TLRs activates the signaling cascade and results in activation of multiple inflammatory genes. Variation in this immune response is under genetic control.

Characteristics of Tlr6 Receptor Expression in Patients with Bronchial Asthma
International Journal of Modern MedicineThe aim of this study was to investigate the features of innate immunity receptor (TLR6) expression in patients with bronchial asthma (BA). The study examined 45 pediatric patients with BA aged 5 to 15 years. The comparison group consisted of 31 children with recurrent obstructive bronchitis (ROB).
