Abstract excerpt
Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) recognizes a synthetic ligand, oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) containing cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG). Activation of TLR9 by CpG ODN induces a signal transduction cascade that plays a pivotal role in first-line immune defense in the human body. The three-dimensional structure of TLR9 has not yet been reported, and the ligand-binding mechanism of TLR9 is still poorly understood;...
