Toll‐like receptors 7 and 9 in myasthenia gravis thymus: amplifiers of autoimmunity?
24 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
Pathogen infections and dysregulated Toll-like receptor (TLR)-mediated innate immune responses are suspected to play key roles in autoimmunity. Among TLRs, TLR7 and TLR9 have been implicated in several autoimmune conditions, mainly because of their ability to promote abnormal B cell activation and survival.
