Vaccination with recombinant fusion proteins incorporating Toll
... (reviewed in [10,11]). The recognition of distinct pathogenassociated molecular patterns (PAMPs) is mediated by specific TLR receptors, including TLR2 (lipidated peptides and lipoteichoic acids), TLR3 (double stranded RNA), TLR4 (lipopolysaccharide), TLR5 (flagellin), and TLR9 (unmethylated CpG DNA) ...

Once an encoding has been fixed and a suitable similarity measure has been chosen, the algorithm will then perform selection and mutation, both based on the similarity ...

Pathogenic implications for autoantibodies against C-reactive protein and other acute phase proteins
... One important exception to the generalization that CRP concentrations correlate with the extent and severity of inflammation is SLE. Many patients with active SLE, particularly if they present without serositis, do not have elevated CRP (or serum amyloid A) concentrations but do have marked increase ...
