Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells may alter the phenotype of monocytes by soluble factors that may be influenced by stimulation of the RPE. Since RPE cells carry the toll-like receptor-3 (TLR3) that detects and reacts to viral infection through binding of dsRNA we investigated the effects of RPE cells with or without TLR3 stimulation on blood-derived monocytes with respect to regulation of...
