    proteins on immune cells that detect pathogens and trigger responses

    Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are proteins found on the surface of certain cells that play a crucial role in the immune system by recognizing and responding to pathogens like bacteria and viruses. They act as sentinels, detecting foreign molecules and triggering an immune response to help protect the body from infections.
