Species-Specific Recognition of Aspergillus fumigatus by Toll-like Receptor 1 and Toll-like Receptor 6
7 Feb 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Aspergillus fumigatus causes invasive aspergillosis, a potentially fatal infection in oncohematological patients. Innate immune detection of A. fumigatus involves Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 and TLR2, which forms a heterodimer with either TLR1 or TLR6. The role of those coreceptors in Aspergillus sensing is unknown. METHODS: Cytokine production was measured in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs)...
