Toll-like receptors (TLR) 7 and 8 are closely related members of the TLR family of pathogen-associated molecular pattern recognition receptors and have an important function in activation of innate immune responses upon viral infection. TLR7 can be activated selectively by
Developmental and comparative immunology, 33(5), 660-667 (2008-12-23)
Although Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have been well characterised in mammals, less work has been carried out in non-mammalian species, such as chickens. In this study the response of chicken cells to the TLR9 subfamily of ligands was characterised in vitro
Veterinary immunology and immunopathology, 123(3-4), 177-185 (2008-02-29)
The toll-like receptors (TLRs) recognize microbial pathogens and pathogen-associated molecular patterns and trigger inflammatory immune responses to control the infection. Here, we examined functional innate immune responses to Salmonella enteritidis (SE, live or formalin-killed) and various TLR agonists including lipoteichoic

We recently reported that human bone marrow hematopoietic CD34(+) progenitors express functional Toll-like receptors (TLR) and can differentiate into myeloid cells just by stimulation with resiquimod (R848), a specific agonist for TLR7/8. However, the mechanisms by which R848 induces cell
Young poultry exhibit a transient colonization by some food-borne pathogens, including Salmonella, during the first week of life that stems from immature innate and acquired defense mechanisms. Consequently, modulation of the hosts' natural immune response is emerging as an important
