Recognition of pneumolysin by Toll-like receptor 4 confers resistance to pneumococcal infection.

TL;DR: The interaction of pneumolysin with TLR4 is critically involved in the innate immune response to pneumococcus and is found to stimulate tumor necrosis factor-α and IL-6 release in wild-type macrophages but not in macrophage from mice with a targeted deletion of the cytoplasmic TLR-adapter molecule myeloid differentiation factor 88, suggesting the involvement of the TLRs in pneumoly sin recognition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hypomorphic homozygous mutations in phosphoglucomutase 3 (PGM3) impair immunity and increase serum IgE levels.

TL;DR: In this paper, a linkage analysis of candidate genes in an 11.9-Mb linkage region on chromosome 6 shared by two multiplex families identified two homozygous mutations in PGM3 that segregated with disease status and followed recessive inheritance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activation of the NLRP3 Inflammasome by Group B Streptococci

TL;DR: It is shown that murine bone marrow-derived conventional dendritic cells responded to GBS by secreting IL-1β and IL-18, and that mice lacking NLRP3, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein, or caspase-1 were considerably more susceptible to infection than wild-type mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipoproteins Are Critical TLR2 Activating Toxins in Group B Streptococcal Sepsis

TL;DR: In this article, the role of GBS lipoproteins in this process was examined by inactivating two genes essential for bacterial lipoprotein (BLP) maturation: the prolipoprotein diacylglyceryl transferase gene (lgt) and the lipiprotein signal peptidase gene(lsp).
