The control of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection depends on recognition of the pathogen
and the activation of both the innate and adaptive immune responses. Toll-like receptors
(TLR) were shown to play a critical role in the recognition of several pathogens.
Mycobacterial antigens recognise distinct TLR resulting in rapid activation of cells of the
innate immune system. Recent evidence from in vitro and in vivo investigations, summarised
in this review demonstrates TLR-dependent activation of innate immune response, while the …
