The expression of Toll-like receptors-2 and-4 by human crypt intestinal epithelial cells, intestinal myofibroblasts and putative intestinal stem cells in inflammatory bowel disease

Host-microbial interactions are of major importance in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Toll-like receptors (TLR) are pattern recognition receptors which recognise conserved molecular patterns derived from micro-organisms. Crypt intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) were isolated fo...
