Funded Activity Summary

Toll-like receptors (TLR) are highly conserved molecules which allow cells to recognize foreign materials. Factors that bind to these TLRs are called ligands. Ligands that activate or suppress TLR may play a crucial role in influencing how the immune system recognizes and controls HIV. A better understanding of the mechanisms by which TLR ligands, including components of HIV-1, modulate T cell function will open up new avenues for the design of immunotherapeutic interventions and vaccines.
