Cutaneous exposure to TLR2/TLR6 but not TLR2/TLR1 ligands induces systemic immune suppression following cutaneous bacterial colonization. This is due to a release of IL-6 by keratinocytes, which causes a systemic induction of Gr1+CD11b+ myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) directly suppressing inflammation.
