Toll-Like Receptor 5-Deficient Mice Have Dysregulated Intestinal Gene Expression and Nonspecific Resistance to Salmonella -Induced Typhoid-Like Disease
15 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
The recognition of flagellin by Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) is the dominant means by which model intestinal epithelia activate proinflammatory gene expression in response to Salmonella enterica. The role of the flagellin-TLR5 interaction in vivo has been addressed primarily via studies that use flagellar mutants. Such studies suggest that host recognition of flagellin promotes rapid neutrophil recruitment that...
