Toll-Like Receptors as Interferon-Regulated Genes and Their Role in Disease

Abstract excerpt

The Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are innate sensors that recognize both microbial and endogenous ligands, initiating the host defense response. TLRs initiate the potent proinflammatory response to infection, are the target for adjuvants, and are essential for the establishment and maturation of adaptive immunity. As such they have been the interest of widespread research and the target of therapeutic intervention...
