Expression of Toll‐like receptor 9 in mouse and human lungs

Abstract excerpt

Toll-like receptors (TLR) recognize conserved molecular motifs of microorganisms, and constitute an important part of the innate immune system. Numerous studies have shown the importance of these receptors, including TLR9, in establishing effective immune responses to a broad range of infections, and in disorders such as COPD.
