TLR9 regulates Th1 responses and cooperates with TLR2 in mediating optimal resistance to <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i>
19 Dec 2005
Abstract excerpt
To investigate the role of Toll-like receptor (TLR)9 in the immune response to mycobacteria as well as its cooperation with TLR2, a receptor known to be triggered by several major mycobacterial ligands, we analyzed the resistance of TLR9(-/-) as well as TLR2/9 double knockout mice to aerosol infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Infected TLR9(-/-) but not TLR2(-/-) mice displayed defective...
