PU.1 and Interferon Consensus Sequence-binding Protein Regulate the Myeloid Expression of the Human Toll-like Receptor 4 Gene
1 Mar 2000
Abstract excerpt
The protein product of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 gene has been implicated in the signal transduction events induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). In mice, destructive mutations of Tlr4 impede the normal response to LPS and cause a high susceptibility to Gram-negative infection. Expression of TLR4 mRNA in humans is restricted to a small number of cell types, including LPS-responsive myeloid cells, B-cells, and...
