Abstract excerpt
The mouse response to Salmonella Typhimurium infection is partly controlled through detection of the bacterium lipopolysaccharide by the host pattern recognition receptor, Toll-like receptor 4 (Tlr4). Mice deficient in Tlr4 signaling are extremely susceptible to Salmonella infection with a 1,000-fold reduction in LD(50). In a previous study, we showed, using transgenic mice carrying one, three, six and >30 copies...
