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

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
Toll-like Receptor 9 (TLR9) is an innate immune receptor recognizing microbial DNA. TLR9 is also activated by self-derived DNA, such as mitochondrial DNA, in a variety of inflammatory diseases. We show here that TLR9 activation in vivo is controlled by

RNA molecules such as single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA) duplexes induce Toll-like receptor (TLR)-mediated immune stimulation after intracellular delivery. We have previously shown that selective incorporation of 2'-O-methyl (2'OMe) residues into siRNA abrogates cytokine production without reduction
Oligonucleotide-based therapeutics have become a reality, and are set to transform management of many diseases. Nevertheless, the modulatory activities of these molecules on immune responses remain incompletely defined. Here, we show that gene targeting 2'-O-methyl (2'OMe) gapmer antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs)
