Abstract
Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP) is characterized by chronic interstitial inflammation and fibrosis. Although mounting evidence has suggested that toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 and TLR4 are involved in the pathogenesis of non-infectious lung injury in vitro and in mouse models, their roles in human IIP remain unknown.To address this issue, we investigated the expression patterns of TLR2 and TLR4 by immunohistochemistry in resected lung...
