Abstract excerpt
As a pattern recognition receptor, TLR1 mediates innate immune responses to a variety of microbial cell wall components including bacterial lipoproteins. We have previously shown that the central region of the extracellular domain of human TLR1, comprising leucine-rich repeat (LRR) motifs 9-12, is required for the sensing of bacterial lipopeptides. In this study, we have investigated three nonsynonymous single...
