Toll-like Receptors and the Eye [PDF]
The immune response to microbial pathogens relies on both innate and adaptive components.1 The innate or immediate response is mediated in large measure by leukocytes of the blood, such as neutrophils (PMNs) and macrophages, cells that phagocytose and kill the pathogens and that concurrently coordinate additional host responses by synthesis of a wide ...

Macrophages exposed continuously to lipopolysaccharide and other agonists that act via toll-like receptors exhibit a sustained and additive activation state [PDF]
Background: Macrophages sense microorganisms through activation of members of the Toll-like receptor family, which initiate signals linked to transcription of many inflammation associated genes.

Up-regulation of Toll-like receptors 2, 3 and 4 in allergic rhinitis
Background Toll-like receptors enable the host to recognize a large number of pathogen-associated molecular patterns such as bacterial lipopolysaccharide, viral RNA, CpG-containing DNA and flagellin.

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have been revealed to recognize specific patterns of microbial components. Recognition of microbial components by TLRs initiates signal transduction pathways, triggering expression of genes, which products control innate immune responses and further instruct development of antigen-specific acquired immunity.

Toll-like receptors and hypertension
Hypertension and associated inflammatory processes that accelerate cardiovascular damage are regulated by the innate immune system. Toll-like receptors (TLR) are major components of the innate immune system that recognize endogenous damage-associated molecular patterns to activate prominent inflammatory signaling including activation of nuclear factor-

Genetic association and expression studies indicate a role of toll-like receptor 8 in pulmonary tuberculosis. [PDF]
Despite high rates of exposure, only 5-10% of people infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis will develop active tuberculosis (TB) disease, suggesting a significant role for genetic variation in the human immune response to this infection.

Toll-like receptors of deuterostome invertebrates
Defensive systems against pathogens are responsible not only for survival or lifetime of an individual but also for the evolution of a species. Innate immunity is expected to be more important for invertebrates than mammals, given that adaptive immunity ...

Characterisation of bovine leukocyte Ig-like receptors [PDF]
Leukocyte Immunoglobulin-like receptors (LILR) are innate immune receptors involved in regulating both innate and adaptive immune functions. LILR show more interspecies conservation than the closely related Killer Ig-like receptors, and homologues have ...

Homology Modeling of Toll-Like Receptor Ligand-Binding Domains [PDF]
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are in the front-line during the initiation of an innate immune response against invading pathogens. TLRs are type I transmembrane proteins that are expressed on the surface of immune system cells.

Toll-like receptors in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases: recent and emerging translational developments [PDF]
Laura Duffy, Steven C O’Reilly Immunology and Cell Biology Group, Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK Abstract: Autoinflammatory diseases are defined as the loss of self-tolerance in which an ...
