RNA recognition by human TLR8 can lead to autoimmune inflammation
High expression level of human TLR8 in mice results in spontaneous, multiorgan inflammation attributable in part to increased DC activation.
Autoimmune skin inflammation is dependent on plasmacytoid dendritic cell activation by nucleic acids via TLR7 and TLR9
Lupus-prone mice develop a chronic inflammatory response to cutaneous injury that depends on the production of type I interferon, TLR7, and TLR9.
