Pathogen manipulation of TLRs:- S aureus activates TLR2 endosomal signalling to promote intracellular survival. Great to collaborate with @McLoughlin_Lab on this study https://t.co/Z7jvDYa89h
Wenjie Zhu, Xiaoyan Xu, Rachel Caspi @rcaspi@NatEyeInstitute@NIH et al. show that Vγ6 γδ T cells sense commensals via TLR2 to fuel IL-17A-mediated barrier defense at the ocular surface. https://t.co/d3nJgCNf9w

Convalescent COVID-19 monocytes exhibit altered steady-state gene expression and reduced TLR2, TLR4 and RIG-I induced cytokine expression
😢You’re wondering why, after SarsCoV2 infections, you’re more susceptible for other infections?
➡️A new study confirming earlier findings: Dysfunctional immune response!
➡️“Data suggest that following SARS-CoV-2 infection, monocytes exhibit altered steady-state gene expression and reduced responsiveness to innate immune receptor activation.
➡️“As both RIG-I and TLRs recognise components of SARS-CoV-2, this may lead to a moderated inflammatory response to SARS-CoV-2 reinfection in the months following the initial infection.”
➡️“This downregulation of the activity of some innate immune receptors but not others may simply adjust the inflammatory response to some infections, rather than deactivating it.”
➡️“A clinical consequence of a sustained decrease in the response of these pattern recognition receptors could also be an increased susceptibility to other bacterial and viral infections”…….as we’re witnessing worldwide: TB for one!
The immunological consequences suggest that after SARS-CoV-2 infection, monocytes undergo changes in their baseline gene expression and show a diminished response to activation by innate immune receptors, potentially affecting the overall and broader immune response.

Using ligands directed at the Toll-like family receptors (TLR) in models of high-risk #AML, Dr. Sara Meyer's team uncover that TLR2 ligands exert unique anti-#leukemic effects that are distinct from other TLRs. | @BloodPortfolio

The spike protein, one of the critical structural proteins of SARS-CoV-2 mediating cell entry, has been shown to affect endothelial function in vitro and in vivo inducing Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 or TLR4-mediated inflammatory responses after systemic injection. 4/10

The measurement of soluble Toll-like receptor 2 has applications in sepsis, inflammation and other diseases. The imiwn sTLR2 RAPID is a simple, semi-quantitative 10 minute test for use with plasma, serum and whole blood. Find out more at https://t.co/U13SrLMrAs
At #AAP2025! Excited to talk about a monocyte biomarker for early detection of #sepsis in kids!
Also- love the incredible community of pediatricians here!
It’s World #Sepsis Day
Sepsis kills 11 million people each year.
Symptoms incl.:
🔸Fever or shivering
🔸Confusion
🔸Shortness of breath
🔸Rash that does not fade when pressed
🔸Extreme discomfort
🔸Sweaty skin
Seek medical care as soon as possible when an infection is not getting better.
