TLR signaling at the intestinal epithelial interface
2003-10-01
Abstract excerpt
The intestinal epithelium provides a critical interface between lumenal bacteria and the mucosal immune system. Whereas normal commensal flora do not trigger acute inflammation, pathogenic bacteria trigger a potent inflammatory response. Our studies emanate from the hypothesis that the intestinal epithelium is normally hyporesponsive to commensal pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) such as LPS. Our data...
