Abstract: The innate immune system utilizes multiple receptors to recognize fungal pathogens, and the net inflammatory response is controlled by interactions between these receptors. Many fungi are recognized, at least in part, by Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and Dectin-1. Examination of the roles these receptors play together and on their own is a useful model for understanding the interplay between innate immune receptors. This review focuses on the role(s) of TLR2 and Dectin-1 in triggering inflammatory responses, transcription factor activation, phagocytosis, and reactive oxygen production in response to fungi.

TL;DR: The initial findings suggest that inflammasome activation may serve as a common and potentially druggable pathway in the defence against eukaryotic pathogens.

Interaction between Macrophages and Epithelial Cells in Innate Immune Responses against Adenoviral Vectors
Benjamin Lee
- 17 Dec 2012
TL;DR: The interaction between macrophages and epithelial cells, the two major cell types capable of sensing and responding to viral infection in the airway, in induction of inflammatory responses against replication deficient Ads is investigated, and whether ATP plays a role in regulating inflammatory responses during acute Ad infection is studied.

Innate Immune Recognition
TL;DR: Microbial recognition by Toll-like receptors helps to direct adaptive immune responses to antigens derived from microbial pathogens to distinguish infectious nonself from noninfectious self.
A human homologue of the Drosophila Toll protein signals activation of adaptive immunity
TL;DR: The cloning and characterization of a human homologue of the Drosophila toll protein (Toll) is reported, which has been shown to induce the innate immune response in adult Dosophila.
The Dorsoventral Regulatory Gene Cassette spätzle/Toll/cactus Controls the Potent Antifungal Response in Drosophila Adults
TL;DR: It is shown that mutations in the Toll signaling pathway dramatically reduce survival after fungal infection and the intracellular components of the dorsoventral signaling pathway and the extracellular Toll ligand, spätzle, control expression of the antifungal peptide gene drosomycin in adults.

The repertoire for pattern recognition of pathogens by the innate immune system is defined by cooperation between Toll-like receptors

TL;DR: The data suggest that TLRs sample the contents of the phagosome independent of the nature of the contents, and can establish a combinatorial repertoire to discriminate among the large number of pathogen-associated molecular patterns found in nature.
