Differential Effects of the Toll-like Receptor 2 Agonists, PGN and PAM3CSK4, on Substance P-Induced Human Mast Cell Activation

Mast cells play important roles in innate immunity through their activation via toll-like receptors (TLRs) but also contribute to neuroimmunological responses and inflammation through their activation by the neuropeptide substance P (SP) via Gα i/o proteins. This study aims to compare the effects of...
