Aspergillus fumigatus Evades Immune Recognition during Germination through Loss of Toll-Like Receptor-4-Mediated Signal Transduction

TL;DR: Peritoneal macrophages from Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4-deficient ScCr mice produced less tumor necrosis factor, interleukin (IL)-1alpha, and IL-1beta than did macrophage of control mice, when stimulated with conidia, but not with hyphae, of Aspergillus fumigatus, a finding suggesting that TLR4-mediated signals are lost during germination.
Journal ArticleDOI
TLR2 and TLR4 serve distinct roles in the host immune response against Mycobacterium bovis BCG

TL;DR: TLR2 andTLR4 appear to regulate distinct aspects of the host immune response against BCG, and a role for TLR4 in the control of bacterial growth and IFN‐γ production in vivo was observed only when mice were infected with higher numbers of BCG.
