TLR9
Ligand: Unmethylated CpG DNA motifs from bacteria and viruses | Role: Identifies DNA from pathogens in endosomes, leads to MyD88-dependent cytokine production
TLR1
Ligand: Triacyl lipopeptides | Role: Forms heterodimers with TLR2 to recognize microbial lipoproteins and initiate MyD88-dependent signaling pathway
TLR7
Ligand: Single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) | Role: Senses viral ssRNA within endosomes, activates MyD88 to induce antiviral responses like interferon production
TLR2
Ligand: Peptidoglycan, lipoteichoic acid from gram-positive bacteria | Role: Recognizes a broad range of microbial components, signals via MyD88 to activate NF-kB
TLR5
Ligand: Flagellin | Role: Recognizes bacterial flagellin, activates MyD88-dependent signaling to induce NF-kB and pro-inflammatory cytokines
TLR8
Ligand: Single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) from viruses | Role: Similar to TLR7, recognizes ssRNA from viruses, plays a role in antiviral immunity
TLR3
Ligand: Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) | Role: Detects viral replication, signals through TRIF, leading to the production of type I interferons
TLR10
Ligand: Unknown | Role: Believed to play a role in immune response, potentially through forming heterodimers with other TLRs
TLR4
Ligand: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from gram-negative bacteria | Role: Initiates MyD88-dependent and TRIF-dependent signaling pathways, leading to pro-inflammatory responses
TLR6
Ligand: Diacyl lipopeptides | Role: Heterodimerizes with TLR2 to recognize unique microbial lipoproteins, leading to inflammatory response
