TLR4, TLR9 and MyD88 are not required for the positive selection of autoreactive B cells into the primary repertoire.
Toll-like receptors (TLR) have been shown to play an essential role in the generation of autoantibodies in mouse models of autoimmunity, but the timing and context of these effects are poorly understood. One hypothesis is that TLR ligands assist in the positive selection of self-reactive B cells int...
