Space and time: New considerations about the relationship between Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and type I interferons (IFNs)

Darren J Perkins et al. Cytokine. 2015 Aug.

Abstract

The Toll like receptors (TLRs) and the type I interferons have critical roles to play in innate immunity. In this review we will discuss new developments relating to the important area of TLR/IFN cross regulation.

Keywords: IFN-β; Interferon; LPS; TLR; TRAF3.
