Transcriptional profiling of Toll-like receptors in chicken embryos and in the ovary during sexual maturation and in response to Salmonella enteritidis infection

One of the key members of the innate immune system in many vertebrate species is the family of Toll-like receptors (TLRs). These molecules, which initiate the innate immune response and mount an anti-microbial response in both vertebrates and invertebrates, have recently been identified in the chick...
