Type 1 TI Antigen • B1 cells bind lipopolysaccharide via either toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4) or via the B cell receptor (specific antibody + Ig- and Ig-). – TLR4 binding is non-specific, so B cells with many different antibodies will be activated (polyclonal activation). In this way, it acts as a B ...
