Requirement of TLR2-mediated signaling for the induction of IL-15 gene expression in human monocytic cells by HSV-1
27 Jun 2008
Abstract excerpt
Exposure of human monocytic cells to herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) results in immediate up-regulation of interleukin (IL)-15 gene expression. However, the receptor involved in this induction is not known. Here, we provide evidence that this induction depends on TLR2-mediated signaling pathway. Through the use of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), we demonstrate that HSV-1-induced up-regulation of IL-15 gene...
