Abstract excerpt
Accumulating evidence suggests a role for Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling at the intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) level for intestinal protection against exogenous injury or pathogenic infection. We hypothesized that MyD88 dependent TLR signaling at intestinal epithelium is critical for mucosal immune homeostasis. In the current study, a transgenic mouse model was generated in which a dominant-negative...
