TLR8 and complement C5 induce cytokine release and thrombin activation in human whole blood challenged with Gram-positive bacteria
Ehrnstrøm, Birgitta; Kojen, June Frengen; Giambelluca, Miriam; Ryan, Liv; Moen, Siv Helen; Hu, Zhenyi; Yin, Hang; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Damås, Jan Kristian; Espevik, Terje; Stenvik, Jørgen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)We recently showed that TLR8 is critical for the detection of Gram‐positive bacteria by human monocytes. Here, we hypothesized that TLR8 and complement together regulate antibacterial responses in human blood. Anticoagulated ... -
Toll-Like Receptor 8 Is a Major Sensor of Group B Streptococcus But Not Escherichia coli in Human Primary Monocytes and Macrophages
Ehrnstrøm, Birgitta; Beckwith, Kai Sandvold; Yurchenko, Mariya; Moen, Siv Helen; Frengen Kojen, June; Lentini, Germana; Teti, G.; Damås, Jan Kristian; Espevik, Terje; Stenvik, Jørgen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)TLR8 is the major endosomal sensor of degraded RNA in human monocytes and macrophages. It has been implicated in the sensing of viruses and more recently also bacteria. We previously identified a TLR8-IFN regulatory factor ...
