Eosinophils are typical effector cells associated with type 2 immune responses and play key roles in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases. These cells are activated by various stimuli, such as cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors,...
LPS interacts with TLR4, which play important roles in host-against-pathogen immune responses, by binding to MD-2 and inducing an inflammatory response. In this study, to our knowledge, we found a novel function of lipoteichoic acid (LT...
Excessive activation of Toll-like receptor (TLR) leads to sepsis. Inflammatory responses to various microbiological components are initiated via different TLR proteins, but all TLR signals are transmitted by TRAF6. We reported that TRAF6 associate...

BACKGROUND: Type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are one of the sources of IL-5 and IL-13 in allergic airway inflammation. Innate immune receptors such as Toll-like receptors (TLRs) expressed on epithelial cells could contribute to ILC2 activation...
Assays using lysate reagents prepared from horseshoe crab hemocyte extract (limulus amoebocyte lysate, LAL) are commonly and widely used to detect and measure endotoxin in parenteral drugs and medical devices. However, lysate reagents suffer from ...
