Abstract excerpt
Both forward and reverse genetic techniques have been used to define components of the mammalian lipopolysaccharide (LPS) receptor. TLR4, identified by a forward genetic approach as the product of the classical Lps locus, is the only known transmembrane component of the mammalian LPS receptor. Gene knockout work has also established that LPS signal transduction requires the integrity of CD14, MD-2, and, in part,...
