Adaptor molecules, proteins that possess no intrinsic enzymatic function, but which mediate protein-protein interactions, have a critical role in integrating signal transduction pathways following engagement of cell-surface receptors. Several newly described adaptor molecules have been shown to serv

he initial signaling event following the engagement of T and B cell antigen receptors (TCR and BCR, respectively) is the activation of Src family protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) such as Lck and Fyn in T cells and Lyn in B cells (reviewed in Refs. 1, 2). These PTKs phosphorylate tyrosine-containing i
Nucleic acid structures are highly conserved through evolution and when self nucleic acids are aberrantly detected by toll-like receptors (TLRs) they contribute to autoimmune disease. For this reason, multiple regulatory mechanisms exist to prevent immune responses to self nucleic acids. TLR9 is a n
