Toll-like receptors and innate immunity
TLDR
This review focuses on the functions of PRRs in innate immunity and their downstream signaling cascades and identifies cytoplasmic PRRs to detect pathogens that have invaded cytosols.
PRRs in pathogen recognition
TLDR
This review focuses on the pathogen recognition of PRRs in innate immunity, and identifies cytoplasmic PRRs which detect pathogens that have invaded the cytosol.
Pathogen recognition by innate receptors
TLDR
This review will describe pathogen recognition by Toll-like receptors, signaling pathways, and their in vivo roles in innate antiviral immunity.
Pathogen recognition in the innate immune response.

Innate immune recognition.
TLDR
Microbial recognition by Toll-like receptors helps to direct adaptive immune responses to antigens derived from microbial pathogens to distinguish infectious nonself from noninfectious self.
NLRs join TLRs as innate sensors of pathogens.
Toll-like receptor signalling
TLDR
Rapid progress that has recently improved the understanding of the molecular mechanisms that mediate TLR signalling is reviewed.

Pattern recognition receptors TLR4 and CD14 mediate response to respiratory syncytial virus
TLDR
A common receptor activation pathway can initiate innate immune responses to both bacterial and viral pathogens.
A Toll-like Receptor That Prevents Infection by Uropathogenic Bacteria
TLDR
A member of the mammalian TLR family, TLR11, is reported that displays a distinct pattern of expression in macrophages and liver, kidney, and bladder epithelial cells, indicating a potentially important role in preventing infection of internal organs of the urogenital system.
Recognition of fungal pathogens by Toll-like receptors
TLDR
New data suggest that TLRs offer escape mechanisms to certain pathogenic microorganisms, especially through TLR2-driven induction of anti-inflammatory cytokines, and the study of TLRs remains one of the most active areas of research in the field of fungal infections.
The repertoire for pattern recognition of pathogens by the innate immune system is defined by cooperation between toll-like receptors.
TLDR
The data suggest that TLRs sample the contents of the phagosome independent of the nature of the contents, and can establish a combinatorial repertoire to discriminate among the large number of pathogen-associated molecular patterns found in nature.
The innate immune response to bacterial flagellin is mediated by Toll-like receptor 5
TLDR
It is reported that mammalian TLR5 recognizes bacterial flagellin from both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and that activation of the receptor mobilizes the nuclear factor NF-κB and stimulates tumour necrosis factor-α production, and the data suggest thatTLR5, a member of the evolutionarily conserved Toll-like receptor family, has evolved to permit mammals specifically to detect flageLLated bacterial pathogens.
Inferences, questions and possibilities in Toll-like receptor signalling
TLDR
The Toll-like receptors are the key proteins that allow mammals — whether immunologically naive or experienced — to detect microbes and many inflammatory processes, both sterile and infectious, may depend on TLR signalling.
