A synthetic toll-like receptor 2 ligand decreases allergic immune responses in a mouse rhinitis model sensitized to mite allergen
It has been proposed that activation of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) plays crucial roles in the polarization of adaptive immune responses. A synthetic Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) ligand, Pam3CSK4, has been repor...
