Toll-like Receptors in the Cornea
The Ocular Surface, 2005We propose that activation of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in the corneal epithelium in response to exposure to microbial products leads to production of CXC chemokines and recruitment of neutrophils to the stroma, increasing stromal thickness and causing haze. A schematic is presented showing the proposed role of TLRs in the inflammatory process.

Trends in Molecular Medicine, 2002
A mammalian immune response to microbial organisms requires a series of pattern recognition steps, and nonspecific processes often precede elements of the specific immune system in this process. Molecules such as lipopolysaccharide, peptidoglycan and lipoteichoic acids are relatively conserved, and are recognized in this manner by toll-like receptors ...

The Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a recently discovered family of receptors involved in the innate recognition of pathogens. TLRs have much homology to the IL-1 receptor family and the Drosophila Toll protein, and at least 10 distinct TLRs have now been identified in human subjects (Fig 1).

Toll-like Receptors and Pregnancy
Reproductive Sciences, 2007The maternal-fetal interface represents an immunologically unique site that must promote tolerance to the allogenic fetus, whilst maintaining host defense against a diverse array of possible pathogens. Clinical studies have shown a strong association between certain pregnancy complications and intrauterine infections. Therefore, innate immune responses

The biology of Toll-like receptors
Cytokine & Growth Factor Reviews, 2000In 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 and cancer
Nature Reviews Cancer, 2008Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a family of pattern recognition receptors that are best-known for their role in host defence from infection. Emerging evidence also suggests that TLRs have an important role in maintaining tissue homeostasis by regulating the inflammatory and tissue repair responses to injury. The development of cancer has been associated

Toll-like receptors and autoimmunity
Autoimmunity Reviews, 2008The understanding of autoimmune diseases experienced an impressive boost since the Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have been identified as possible key players in autoimmune pathophysiology. Although these receptors recognize a variety of structures derived from viruses, bacteria and fungi leading to subsequent initiation of the relevant immune responses ...

To review the role of mammalian Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in host defense.MEDLINE search and current literature.First, TLRs participate in the recognition of molecular patterns present on microorganisms. Second, TLRs are expressed at the interface with the environment, the site of microbial invasion.

Toll like receptors and viruses
Reviews in Medical Virology, 2006AbstractToll like receptors (TLRs) are ‘pattern recognition proteins’ that discriminate between self and non‐self. They interact with products of infectious agents to activate cells of the innate immune system and also stimulate the adaptive immune system.

Current Opinion in Immunology, 2003
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are essential in the host defense against microbial pathogens. Individual TLRs recognize distinct structural components of pathogens and evoke inflammatory responses. Recent evidence indicates that TLRs recognize not only bacteria and fungi but also viruses.
