Infectious Diseases of Poultry : TLR Based Adjuvants in Vaccines.

Contents: Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. New generation vaccines and need of adjuvants. 3. Toll like receptors (TLRs). 4. TLR signalling. 5. TLR signalling affects many immunological processes to enhance the immune response. 6. TLR agonists as adjuvant in chicken. 7. Chicken infectious diseases. 8. TLR ligands as adjuvant against the important chicken infectious disease. 9. Interaction between TLRs. 10. Future aspects. 11. References.

This book provides recent information about toll like receptors (TLRs), their types, structure and localization, the mechanism of action, signaling pathways, development and mechanism of up-regulation of immune responses following TLR activation, and their use as immunoadjuvants. This book also explains the different infectious diseases of the chicken and the advancement in the use of TLR ligands as adjuvant in the vaccines, including conventional as well new generation vaccines against the deadly infectious diseases of the poultry.
