Critical role of Valpha14+ natural killer T cells in the innate phase of host protection against Streptococcus pneumoniae infection.

abstract：:Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are playing important roles in stimulating the innate immune response and intensifying adaptive immune response against invading pathogens. Appropriate regulation of TLR activation is important to maintain a balance between preventing tumor activation and inhibiting autoimmunity. Toll-like r...
