Toll-Like Receptors

Annual Review of Immunology, 2003
The innate immune system in drosophila and mammals senses the invasion of microorganisms using the family of Toll receptors, stimulation of which initiates a range of host defense mechanisms. In drosophila antimicrobial responses rely on two signaling pathways: the Toll pathway and the IMD pathway.

Toll-like receptors

Critical Care Medicine, 2002
The ability of a host to sense invasion by pathogenic organisms and to respond appropriately to control infection is paramount to survival. In the case of sepsis and septic shock, however, an exaggerated systemic response may, in fact, contribute to the morbidity and mortality associated with overwhelming infections.

Toll‐Like Receptors

Current Protocols in Immunology, 2007
AbstractThe mammalian Toll‐like receptor (TLR) family consists of 13 members, and recognizes specific patterns of microbial components, called pathogen‐associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). TLR‐dependent recognition of PAMPs leads to activation of the innate immune system, which subsequently leads to activation of antigen‐specific adaptive immunity ...

Toll-like receptors

Microbes and Infection, 2000
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a growing family of molecules involved in innate immunity. Accumulating evidence suggests that TLR molecules are involved in signalling receptor complexes which recognise components of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and mycobacteria.

Toll‐like receptors and skin

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, 2011
AbstractToll‐like receptors are important pattern recognition receptors which have key roles in both innate and adaptive immune responses. They are strongly associated with the pathogenesis of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Furthermore, Toll‐like receptors have also been implicated in the pathogenesis of several skin diseases such as skin ...

The biology of Toll-like receptors

Cytokine & Growth Factor Reviews, 2000
In 1997, a human homologue of the Drosophila Toll protein was described, a protein later to be designated Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). Since that time, additional human and murine TLR proteins have been identified. Mammalian TLR proteins appear to represent a conserved family of innate immune recognition receptors.

Toll-like receptors in the skin

Seminars in Immunopathology, 2007
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are important pattern-recognition receptors involved in host defense against a variety of pathogenic microorganisms. Activation of TLRs leads to the production of cytokines, chemokines, antimicrobial peptides, and upregulation costimulatory and adhesion molecules involved in innate and adaptive immune responses.

Toll-like receptors and sepsis

Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2004
Recent evidence suggests that Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a major role in innate immunity to recognize specific molecular patterns derived from pathogens, including lipid, protein, DNA, and RNA, and to fight against pathogens. Each TLR displays a difference in the expression pattern, intracellular localization, and signaling pathway, resulting in ...
