Molecular cloning and characterization of Toll-like receptors 1-10 in sheep
Journal Article
Chang, J. S., Russell, G. C., Jann, O. C., Glass, E. J., Werling, D., & Haig, D. Molecular cloning and characterization of Toll-like receptors 1-10 in sheep. Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 127(1-2), 94-105. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vetimm.2008.09.026

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are pattern-recognition receptors that trigger innate immune responses and stimulate adaptive immunity. Currently, only partial information is available for sheep TLR genes. The aims of this study were to clone and sequence...

Neutrophil and platelet activation in equine recurrent airway obstruction is associated with increased neutrophil CD13 expression, but not platelet CD41/61 and CD62P or neutrophil-platelet aggregate formation
Journal Article
Dunkel, B., Rickards, K. J., Werling, D., Page, C. P., & Cunningham, F. M. Neutrophil and platelet activation in equine recurrent airway obstruction is associated with increased neutrophil CD13 expression, but not platelet CD41/61 and CD62P or neutrophil-platelet aggregate formation.

Theileria Apicoplast as a Target for Chemotherapy
Journal Article
Lizundia, R., Werling, D., Langsley, G., & Ralph, S. A. Theileria Apicoplast as a Target for Chemotherapy. Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 53(3), 1213-1217. https://doi.org/10.1128/aac.00126-08

Theileria parasites cause severe bovine disease and death in a large part of the world. These apicomplexan parasites possess a relic plastid (apicoplast), whose metabolic pathways include several promising drug targets. Putative inhibitors of these t...

Variation matters: TLR structure and species-specific pathogen recognition
Journal Article
Werling, D., Jann, O. C., Offord, V., Glass, E. J., & Coffey, T. J. Variation matters: TLR structure and species-specific pathogen recognition. Trends in Immunology, 30(3), 124-130. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.it.2008.12.001

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a family of pattern recognition receptors that are an important link between innate and adaptive immunity. Many vaccines incorporate ligands for TLRs as an adjuvant and are developed in rodent models, with the resulting...
