Abstract
The innate immune response is the first line of defense against infectious disease. It is vital that the host detect the pathogen and rapidly mount a defense. The Toll-like family of receptors have evolved to detect conserved patterns on pathogens. When stimulated, these receptors activate the inflammatory response.Keywords
