Extracellular ATP and Toll-like receptor 2 agonists trigger in human monocytes an activation program that favors T helper 17.

Strategically-paired Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands induce a unique dendritic cell (DC) phenotype that polarizes Th1 responses. We therefore investigated pairing single TLR ligands with a non TLR-mediated danger signal to cooperatively induce distinct DC properties from cultured human monocytes. A...
