Journal ArticleDOI

TICAM-1, an adaptor molecule that participates in Toll-like receptor 3-mediated interferon-beta induction.

TL;DR: This work has identified an alternative adaptor, designated Toll-interleukin 1 receptor domain (TIR)-containing adaptor molecule (TICAM)-1, that can physically bind the TIR domain of TLR3 and activate the IFN-β promoter in response to poly(I):poly(C).
Journal ArticleDOI

Subcellular Localization of Toll-Like Receptor 3 in Human Dendritic Cells

TL;DR: Immunoelectron microscopic analysis revealed that TLR3, when stably expressed in the murine B cell line Ba/F3, was specifically accumulated in multivesicular bodies, a subcellular compartment situated in endocytic trafficking pathways, which may reflect participation of cell type-specific multiple pathways in antiviral IFN induction viaTLR3.
Journal ArticleDOI

TLR3: interferon induction by double-stranded RNA including poly(I:C).

TL;DR: Current knowledge on TLR3 is summarized and its possible role in innate and adaptive immunity is discussed and involved in activation of NK cells and CTLs by myeloid DCs suggests thatTLR3 serves as an inducer of cellular immunity sensing viral infection rather than a simple IFN inducer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Establishment of a monoclonal antibody against human Toll-like receptor 3 that blocks double-stranded RNA-mediated signaling.

TL;DR: The mAb against TLR3 reported herein may serve as a regulator for virus-mediated immune response via an alternative pathway involving the dsRNA-TLR3 recognition which might occur on host cells.
