## Abstract C57BL/10ScCr (Cr) mice carry a deletion of the Tollβlike receptor 4 (__tlr4__) gene (i.e. they are __tlr4__^0/0^) and are thus refractory to LPS effects. Insertion of wildβtype __tlr4__ transgene into the __tlr4__^0/0^ Cr germ line endowed LPS susceptibility in the two transgenic lines
## Abstract Microglia are activated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to produce neurotoxic proβinflammatory factors and reactive oxygen species (ROS). While a multitude of LPS receptors and corresponding pathways have been identified, the detailed mechanisms mediating the microglial response to LPS are
