abstract：:Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) recognizes double-stranded RNA and transmits signals to activate NF-kappaB and the interferon (IFN)-beta promoter via the newly identified adaptor, TICAM-1. The extracellular LRR domain of TLR3 is engaged in the ligand recognition, while the intracellular TIR domain is crucial for the adapt...
