Table 1. Different subtypes of TLRs and their identified PAMPs.

TLRs PAMPs Biological activity Reference
TLR2/TLR6 TLR2/TLR1 The lipoproteins of bacteria or mycoplasma. Lipopeptide (MALP-2), Peptidogl, ycan (PGN) Activate intracellular signal NF-KB, induce adhesion molecules and inflammatory cytokines. Zhu et al. (2010), Basto & Leitao (2014), Kaisho & Akira (2002)
TLR4 Lipopolysaccharides(LPS), Heat shock protein (HSP), β-defensin, Heparin-binding hemagglutinin(HBHA) Induce the expression of adhesion molecules and inflammatory cytokines. Reed et al. (2016), Kaisho & Akira (2002)
TLR5 Gram-negative bacteria flagellin The potent proinflammatory activity by inducing NF-KB activation, and expression of IL-8 and inducible NO synthase in intestinal epithelial cells. Kaisho & Akira (2002), Moyle (2017)
TLR3 Double-stranded RNA (ds RNA), Poly(I:C) Induce IL-12 production and DC maturation and elevate CD40 expression on APCs. Kaisho & Akira (2002), Cheng et al. (2018)
TLR7/TLR8 Single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) Induce the expression of adhesion molecules and inflammatory cytokines Vasilakos & Tomai (2013)
TLR9 CpG DNA, Hemozoin, Herpes simplex virus DNA Production of Th1 cytokines and promotion of cytotoxic activity of NK cells. Zhu et al. (2010), Kaisho & Akira (2002)
