Role of toll-like receptors in radioprotection / 第二军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

Toll-like-receptors(TLRs) have been found to play a critical role in immune response of hosts.They can trigger innate immune responses by detecting pathogen-associated molecular patterns(PAMPs).This paper reviews the roles of several toll-like receptors(TLR4,TLR5,and TLR9) in radioprotection and the related mechanisms,so as to provide theoretical evidences for further studying their roles in radioprotection.
