Looking at the non immune cells with TLR4
Fibroblasts connective tissue have TLR4 that when triggered creates il-12 which stimulates TH1 and low amounts of IFNgamma which trigger MHC2 expression of Bcells
Epithelial cells (skin) have TLR4 that when triggered creates il-18 that inc IFNgamma which stimulates NK cells
Now looking at areas of the body:
Uterus
thin epithelial coumn
thick connective tissue area
HIGH il-12
Chlamydia
Lung
25% connective tissue
75% epithelial tissue
HIGH il-18
Mycoplasma (ER infection)
Intestine
mucosal epithelium
lamina propria (loose connective tissue)
are they equal amounts?
