Overview of Toll-like receptors (TLRs).

TLR Primary
Location
Principal Ligand Signaling Pathway Functions and Application
Examples
TLR1/2 Cell Surface Triacylated lipopeptides (Pam3CSK4) MyD88-dependent Involved in immune response activation, potential applications in cancer and infectious disease treatments [1]
TLR2/6 Cell Surface Lipopeptides MyD88-dependent Regulates inflammation and immune responses, potential treatments for allergic and autoimmune diseases [30]
TLR3 Endosomes Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) TRIF-dependent Antiviral immune responses, applications as vaccine adjuvants and in tumor treatments [31]
TLR4 Cell Surface Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) MyD88-dependent and TRIF-dependent Regulates inflammatory responses, potential treatments for infectious diseases and cancer [32]
TLR7 Endosomes Single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) MyD88-dependent Antiviral responses and regulation of autoimmune diseases such as SLE [13]
TLR8 Endosomes Single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) MyD88-dependent Antiviral and anti-tumor therapeutic applications [13]
TLR9 Endosomes CpG DNA MyD88-dependent Applications in antiviral vaccine adjuvants, treatments for infectious diseases and tumors [30]
TLR10 Cell Surface Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) (presumed) MyD88-dependent Potential roles in antiviral responses and immune regulation, further research needed to clarify specific functions [33]
