Pattern-recognition receptorsLigands
TLR1aBacterial lipoproteins from Mycobacteria, Neisseria
TLR2aZymosan yeast particles, peptidoglycan, lipoproteins, glycolipids, lipopolysaccharide
TLR3Viral double-stranded RNA, poly:IC
TLR4Bacterial lipopolysaccharides, plant product taxol
TLR5Bacterial flagellins
TLR6aYeast zymosan particles, lipotechoic acid, lipopeptides from mycoplasma
TLR7Single-stranded RNA, R-837 and R848b, other synthetic compounds such as loxoribine and bropirimine
TLR8cSingle-stranded RNA, R848
TLR9dCpG oligonucleotides
TLR10Unknown
TLR11Bacterial components from uropathogenic bacteria
NOD1, NOD2ePeptidoglycans
Scavenger receptorsfAcetylated/malelylated proteins; modified low-density lipoproteins and other polyanionic ligands
Macrophage mannose receptors and other c-type lectin receptorsSulfated sugars, mannose-, fucose- and galactose-modified polysaccharides and proteins
Type 3 complement receptors and dectin type receptorsZymosan particles, beta-glucan
aTLRs can form heterodimers, which further changes their specificity. For example, TLR2 and TLR6 form heterodimers that recognize a mycoplasmal lipoprotein44. TLR1 and TLR2 have similarly been shown to cooperatively recognize a mycobacterial lipoprotein45.
bR-837 (imiquimod) and R-848 (resiquimod) are the first small-molecule synthetic TLR ligands to be identified30. R-837 is licensed for use as a topical cream (Aldara) against anogenital warts caused by human papilloma virus.
cTLR8 is suggested to be nonfunctional in mice46.
dTLR9 from human and mouse shows CpG ODN sequence specificity47.
eNucleotide oligomerizing domain protein. Naturally occurring mutations in human have been shown to profoundly alter responsiveness to bacterial infections.
fScavenger receptors are further subdivided into SR-A, SR-B, SR-D and SR-F depending on structure and ligand recognition10.
