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] |
