Data provided by the National Library of Medicine- Toll-like receptor-4 mediates lipopolysaccharide-induced signal transduction.
- Membrane expression of soluble endotoxin-binding proteins permits lipopolysaccharide signaling in Chinese hamster ovary fibroblasts independently of CD14.
- Cutting edge: cells that carry A null allele for toll-like receptor 2 are capable of responding to endotoxin.
- Use of a photoactivatable taxol analogue to identify unique cellular targets in murine macrophages: identification of murine CD18 as a major taxol-binding protein and a role for Mac-1 in taxol-induced gene expression.
- Bacterial lipopolysaccharide induces expression of the stress response genes hop and H411.
- Human toll-like receptors mediate cellular activation by Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
- Toll-like receptor 2 functions as a pattern recognition receptor for diverse bacterial products.
- The CD14 ligands lipoarabinomannan and lipopolysaccharide differ in their requirement for Toll-like receptors.
- Characterization of low-density lipoprotein uptake by murine macrophages exposed to Chlamydia pneumoniae.
