Role of Toll-like receptor 2 against Streptococcus uberis infection in primary mouse mammary epithelial cells

Mammary epithelial cells (MECs) play an important role against Streptococcus uberis infection which is one of the main causes of bovine mastitis and a potential threat to human health. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and their mediated signaling pathways are critical in both innate and infection responses, yet their roles in anti-S. uberis infection in MECs remains poorly defined. In this work we investigated the regulatory mechanisms of TLR2 in...
