    Abstract

    Microbes have on their surface molecular patterns that are common among a broad range of pathogens. These patterns are recognized by a wide variety of cellular receptors, the most important of which are a family of transmembrane proteins termed "Toll-like receptors" (TLR). TLRs are pattern-recognition receptors that have key roles in detecting pathogens and initiating inflammatory responses. The receptor of Gram negative bacterial LPS, TLR4, is the best characterized member of the TLR family. So far, ten mammalian toll-like receptors (TLR1-TLR10) have been identified. Recent studies revealed that the TLR signaling pathway is a critical mediator of sepsis. An understanding of TLRs and their signaling pathway will reveal a therapeutic target in sepsis and other immune mediated diseases.

      Related information

      • Related Citations
        Calculated set of PubMed citations closely related to the selected article(s) retrieved using a word weight algorithm. Related articles are displayed in ranked order from most to least relevant, with the “linked from” citation displayed first.
      • OMIM (calculated)
        Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) records that include the current articles as references in the light bulb links within or in the citations at the end of the OMIM record. The references available through the light bulb link are collected using the PubMed related articles algorithm to identify records with similar terminology to the OMIM record.
