Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and their ligand specificity. Different TLRs and their ligand specificity. TLRs recognize a variety of pathogen-associated structures (PAMPs). The recognition of LPS by TLR-4 requires the accessory proteins CD14 and MD-2. TLR-2 recognizes very different ligands and interacts with TLR-6 and TLR-1. TLR-3 is involved in the recognition of viral double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), TLR-5 binds flagellin, a protein of bacterial flagella, and TLR-9 recognizes bacterial DNA on the basis of its unmethylated CpG motifs ([76] with kind permission)
