Evolution of the bovine TLR gene family and member associations with Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis infection.

Evolution of the bovine TLR gene family and member associations with Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis infection.

Members of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) gene family occupy key roles in the mammalian innate immune system by functioning as sentries for the detection of invading pathogens, thereafter provoking host innate immune responses. We utilized a custom next-generation sequencing approach and allele-specif...
