Identifying Infection

Toll-like receptors light up along sections of human

airway epithelial cells in an immunofluorescence image

meant to detect them. Toll-like receptors are activated

by many different pathogens. Investigators in the

Center for Vaccines and Immunity study how the

human immune system reacts to pathogens to better

identify and treat childhood infections.
