Adaptive evolution of virus-sensing toll-like receptor 8 in bats.

Immunogenetics - 1 Nov 2016

Schad Julia, Voigt Christian C

Abstract excerpt

Recently, bats have gained attention as potential reservoir hosts for emerging zoonotic single-stranded (ssRNA) viruses that may prove fatal for humans and other mammals. It has been hypothesized that some features of their innate immune system may enable bats to trigger an efficient early immune response. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) represent a first line defense within the innate immune system and lie directly...
