Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a family of proteins that play a key role in the innate immune system. TLRs are expressed on the surface of phagocytes, such as macrophages and neutrophils, and they can directly detect microbial molecules like LPS and peptidoglycan.
