    InvivoGen tlr4
    Receptor-specific activities of individual PRR ligands and conjugated PRR ligands. HEK-Blue NOD2, TLR2, TLR7, <t>TLR4,</t> or HEK-Lucia RIG-I cells were treated with the compounds (1 or 10 μM as indicated) and the corresponding positive controls (1 μM MDP for NOD2, 100 nM Pam3CSK4 for TLR2, 1 μM imiquimod for TLR7, 100 ng/mL LPS for TLR4, and 100 ng/mL Poly­(I/C) for RIG-I) for 18 h. The activities are shown relative to the vehicle-treated control (0.1% DMSO). Data are mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. EC 50 values were determined in HEK-Blue NOD2, TLR2, and TLR7 cells in at least three independent experiments with eight concentrations (1 nM to 10 μM for NOD2 cells, and 0.1 nM to 1 μM for TLR2 and TLR7 cells).

    Techniques:

    Microbiome composition of responder and non-responder subgroups and correlations with TLR2/TLR4 ligands (A) MaAsLin2 correlations between microbiota abundances and TLR2/TLR4 ligands in responder (R) and non-responder (N) subgroups within each group. (B–D) PcoA plots based on phylo-RPCA distances within each group. Responder (R) and non-responder subgroups are differentiated by markers and phases by color and marker size. In the right lower corner of each PCoA plot, response rate is plotted. Respond rate was calculated as the number of responders divided by the total number of participants within each group.
