Abstract excerpt
The receptor encoded by the human TLR3 gene recognizes double-strand RNAs (dsRNAs) associated with viral infection. TLR3 expression is strongly activated upon differentiation of monocytes to dendritic cells, and can be further stimulated by the dsRNA analog polyinosine:polycytosine (PI:C). We report evidence for developmental regulation of the TLR3 gene. In dendritic cells derived from cord blood, both...
