Host species-specific usage of the TLR4-LPS receptor complex
Journal Article
Lizundia, R., Sauter, K. S., Taylor, G., & Werling, D. Host species-specific usage of the TLR4-LPS receptor complex. Innate Immunity, 14(4), 223-231. https://doi.org/10.1177/1753425908095957

Recognition of LIPS depends on the interaction of at least three molecules forming the LPS-receptor complex. The Most important ones, CD14. MD2 and Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 share a high degree of homology between species. In the present study, we i... Read More about Host species-specific usage of the TLR4-LPS receptor complex.

Molecular evolution of bovine Toll-like receptor 2 suggests substitutions of functional relevance
Journal Article
Jann, O. C., Werling, D., Chang, J. S., Haig, D., & Glass, E. J. Molecular evolution of bovine Toll-like receptor 2 suggests substitutions of functional relevance. BMC Evolutionary Biology, 8(288), https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2148-8-288

Background: There is accumulating evidence that polymorphism in Toll-like receptor (TLR) genes might be associated with disease resistance or susceptibility traits in livestock. Polymorphic sites affecting TLR function should exhibit signatures of po... Read More about Molecular evolution of bovine Toll-like receptor 2 suggests substitutions of functional relevance.
