Background
The mammalian immune system is composed of two components: innate immunity and adaptive immunity. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are an essential part of the innate immune system. Through recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), TLRs mount an immune defense against pathogens. There are 10 mammalian TLRs (TLR1-10). Unmethylated CpG sequences in bacterial genomes and viral DNA molecules activates TLR9, leading to the inflammatory response.
