Abstract excerpt
The mammalian toll-like receptors (TLRs) are products of an evolutionary process that began prior to the separation of plants and animals. The most conserved protein motif within the TLRs is the TIR, which denotes Toll, the Interleukin-1 receptor, and plant disease Resistance genes. To trace the...
