The human immune system is a sophisticated network designed to detect and eliminate pathogens, but some viruses, like HIV, have evolved ingenious mechanisms to exploit its defenses. One of HIV’s strategies involves manipulating Toll-like receptors (TLRs), critical components of the innate immune system that detect pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and initiate immune responses. This article explores how the HIV virus interacts with TLRs, particularly on … Continue reading The Role of Toll-Like Receptors in HIV: Bridging Innate & Adaptive Immunity
