Abstract

The lung is highly susceptible to external environmental pollutants such as infectious agents and foreign antigens and thus, expresses an extensive repertoire of pathogen recognition recep-tors (PRRs) to recognize both exogenous pathogen-associated and endogenous danger-associ-ated molecular patterns (Jiang et al., 2006, Lipinski et al., 2021). Notably, Toll-like receptors (TLR) play a key role in this process as they are located on cell surface as well as intracellularly (Lipinski et al., 2021; Maris et al., 2006).
