Abstract excerpt
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are involved in pathogen recognition by the innate immune system. Different TLRs and the adaptor molecule myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) were previously shown to mediate in vitro cell activation induced by group B streptococcus (GBS). The present study examined the potential in vivo roles of TLR2 and MyD88 during infection with GBS. When pups were infected locally with a low...
