Abstract excerpt
Toll-like receptors (TLR) activate multiple steps in inflammatory reactions in innate immune responses. They also activate signals that are critically involved in the initiation of adaptive immune responses. Many tumorigenic chemicals have been associated with endotoxin hypersensitivity mediated through TLR4. To determine the role of TLR4 in cutaneous skin carcinogenesis, we treated TLR4-deficient C3H/HeJ mice...
