Critical role of toll-like receptors and nucleotide oligomerisation domain in the regulation of health and disease

Abstract excerpt

Pathogens are sensed by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), which are germ line-encoded receptors, including transmembrane Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and cytosolic nucleotide oligomerisation domain (NOD) proteins, containing leucine-rich repeats (NLRs). Activation of PRRs by specific pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) results in genomic responses in host cells involving activation transcription...
