Abstract Background The recognition of microbial molecular patterns via Toll-like receptors TLRs is critical for mucosal defenses. Methods Using well-differentiated primary cultures of human airway epithelia we investigated the effects of exposure of the cells to cytokines TNF-a and IFN-y and dexamethasone dex on responsiveness to the TLR2 TLR1 ligand Pam3CSK4. Production of IL-8 CCL20 and .
