Toll-Like Receptors Can Distinguish Between

Question

Toll-like receptors can distinguish between:
A)nonspecific and specific immune responses
B)gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria
C)bacteria versus viruses
D)two of these

Accepted Answer

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are capable of distinguishing between different types of pathogens, including differentiating between gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, as well as between bacteria and viruses. This allows them to play a crucial role in the innate immune system by recognizing structurally conserved molecules derived from microbes.
