Theiler's virus infection induces TLR3‐dependent upregulation of TLR2 critical for proinflammatory cytokine production
3 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) infection directly induces many proinflammatory genes, including type I interferon (IFN) and a variety of cytokine genes. These virus-induced cytokines are a critical factor in developing TMEV-induced demyelinating disease. We have previously reported that the major activation signal for the cytokine genes is mediated via TLR3. In this study, we describe that TLR2...
