17Beta-estradiol suppresses TLR3-induced cytokine and chemokine production in endometrial epithelial cells
Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E ·doi:10.1186/1477-7827-3-74

BACKGROUND: The human endometrium is an important site for contact between the host and pathogens ascending the reproductive tract, and thus plays an important role in female reproductive tract immunity. Previous work in our laboratory has …

Human endometrial epithelial cells cyclically express Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) and exhibit TLR3-dependent responses to dsRNA
Human immunology ·doi:10.1016/j.humimm.2004.12.003

Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) responds to dsRNA, a product of most viral life cycles, and initiates production of proinflammatory and antiviral cytokines. The role of TLR3 in human mucosal immunity of the endometrium has not been examined. Th…

Expression of Toll-like receptors in human endometrial epithelial cells and cell lines
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-0897.2004.00189.x

PROBLEM: Are toll-like receptors (TLRs) expressed by human endometrium and endometrial cell lines? METHODS OF STUDY: Expression of each TLR mRNA species was determined by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis of…
