Toll-Like Receptor Family Members and Their Ligands

On occasion, the innate immune system is referred to as the "primitive" immune system. Perhaps this has dissuaded immu­ nologists from analyzing it as energetically as they have analyzed the adaptive immune system during the past two decades. But while its phylogenetic origins are indeed a...
