[ 1 ] - P-159: Immunological Aspect of Ectopic Pregnancy Genes

Background: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a crucial role in early host defense against invading pathogens. Recognition of some bacterial pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) is mediated by TLR2, 4 and 5 while TLR3 distinguishes double stranded RNA. Interactions between the immune system and female reproductive system have important consequences for fertility and reproductive health....

[ 2 ] - P-64: Innate Immune System Importance in Ectopic Pregnancy with Emphasis on TLR4 Gene

Background: In an ectopic pregnancy (EP) the egg does not reach to the uterus, but instead implants somewhere outside it, usually in fallopian tube. In most cases the exact cause of an ectopic pregnancy is unknown but it is often a result of some sort of damage to the fallopian tube. The tube may have become blocked or narrowed by previous surgery or infection. An active immune system need to r...

[ 3 ] - P-74: Variation in the Expression of TLR3 in Ectopic Pregnancy

Background: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) form the major family of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) which are involved in the innate immunity. They recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) in bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. In human, 10 members of this family have been identified so far. Among these TLRs, TLR3, 7, 8 and 9 designed to recognize nucleic acids and expresse...

[ 4 ] - P-82: The Role of Toll-Like Receptor 2 in Ectopic Pregnancy

Background: The innate immune system is our first line of defense against invading pathogens. Toll–like receptors (TLRs) have been identified as a key role in mediating the function of innate immune system which bridges the gap between innate and adaptive immunity. For example, TLR2 is able to act as a homodimer to recognize lipoteichoic acids of Gram-positive bacteria but as a heterodimer with...

[ 5 ] - P-83: Immunological Evaluation of Ectopic Pregnancy with Emphasis on TLR5

Background: The presence of immune system within the female reproductive tract is increasingly being recognized as an important element for maintaining host protection and promoting reproductive functions. The Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs) family plays an important role in innate immune responses against microbial pathogens within the genital tract. These receptors recognize distinct pathogen-asso...
