TLR3 forms a laterally aligned multimeric complex along double-stranded RNA for efficient signal transduction

TLR3 activates a potent immune response by binding to dsRNA. Here the authors report cryo-EM analyses to show that TLR3 dimers laterally form a higher multimeric complex along dsRNA, providing the basis for cooperative binding and efficient signal transduction.
