Anal furunculosis (AF) is a chronic, progressive inflammatory disease of the perianal tissues most frequently affecting middle-aged or older German Shepherd dogs (GSD). Because this breed accounts for over 80% of all reported cases, there is likely t...

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.
