Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are innate immune receptors found on cells like macrophages and dendritic cells. They recognize pathogen components, triggering cytokine production to initiate immune responses.
Receptores innatos en macrófagos, células dendríticas y otras células, que reconocen patógenos y sus productos, como el lipopolisacárido bacteriano. El reconocimiento estimula a las células portadoras de receptores a producir citoquinas que ayudan a iniciar las respuestas inmunes.
