To explore whether TLR2/TLR4 could be involved in the maturation of dendritic cells and polarization of CD4+ T cells induced by dendritic cells stimulated with MBP and BCG, in vitro and in vivo experiments using TLR2−/− or TLR4−/− mice were employed. MBP and BCG elevated CD80, CD86 and MHC class II...
