Variation at innate immunity Toll-like receptor genes in a bottlenecked population of a New Zealand robin.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Grueber Catherine E, Wallis Graham P, King Tania M, Jamieson Ian G

Abstract excerpt

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are an ancient family of genes encoding transmembrane proteins that bind pathogen-specific molecules and initiate both innate and adaptive aspects of the immune response. Our goal was to determine whether these genes show sufficient genetic diversity in a bottlenecked population to be a useful addition or alternative to the more commonly employed major histocompatibility complex (MHC)...
