Bacterial Peptidoglycan‐Associated Lipoprotein: A Naturally Occurring Toll‐Like Receptor 2 Agonist That Is Shed into Serum and Has Synergy with Lipopolysaccharide
16 Feb 2005
Abstract excerpt
Sepsis is initiated by interactions between microbial products and host inflammatory cells. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are central innate immune mediators of sepsis that recognize different components of microorganisms. Peptidoglycan-associated lipoprotein (PAL) is a ubiquitous gram-negative bacterial outer-membrane protein that is shed by bacteria into the circulation of septic animals. We explored the...
