Update on TLRs and IFNs : TLR4 triggers IFN beta for the cytosol infections while TLR3 triggers IFN lambda for the golgi seen infections


Five TLRs and viruses

Consider TLRs as the butterfly nets which identify infections non specifically

For infections that move inside the cell there are 5 TLRs

7 nucleus
8 ER
9 mitochondria
3 golgi
4 cytosol 

(note that tlr4 is not endosomal)

IFN 

Cytosol

TLR4 and IFN beta

TLR4 and Fibroblasts

Fibroblasts and IFN beta

Golgi

Dendritic cells and tlr3

TLR3 and IFN lambda

ER

Macrophages and TLR8

macrophages and IFN gamma

natural killer cells also produce IFN gamma
in response to no cell surface markers due to damaged  ER where no proteins make it to the surface

Nucleus and mitochondria

Bcells have tlr7 and tlr9

Bcells secrete TGF-b1

Dendritic cells secrete IFN alpha in response to TGF-b1

TGF-B1 acts on TH17 cells with il-21 to produce il-19 and il-26
