Two Hosts, One Receptor: Comparing TLR4 Responses to Viral Glycoproteins in Humans and Bats
Innate immunity represents the first line of defence against invading pathogens. A key component of the innate immune system is Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), which is classically activated by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) leading to the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Interestingly, recent literature has sho...
