Increased Expression of Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) 2 and TLR6 on Peripheral Blood Monocytes by Induction of Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B During Exacerbation of Atopic Dermatitis Patients.

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic and recurrent inflammatory skin disease that can be triggered by various precipitating factors, including colonization by (). The toll-like receptor (TLR), which belongs to the family of pattern recognition receptors (PRR), can recognize components of , such as staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB). This receptor is known to be expressed on monocytes.
