TLR3 ([[toll-like receptor]] 3) [[Ampligen]] is a [[TLR3]] agonist.<ref>http://www.fda.gov/downloads/AdvisoryCommittees/CommitteesMeetingMaterials/Drugs/ArthritisAdvisoryCommittee/UCM334430.pdf</ref> It stimulates the production of toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3), which is a naturally occurring protein. TLR3 recognizes the dsRNA present in some [[Virus|viruses]], such as retroviruses, and stimulates a series of biochemical reactions that result is an increase in the production of [[interferon]]. Interferon, an important player in the body's immune system, protects against viral infections and activates immune cells, such as [[natural killer cell]]s (NK cells). == See also == * [[Toll-like receptor]] * [[Toll-like receptor 1]] * [[Toll-like receptor 4]] == References == {{Reflist}} [[Category:Toll-like receptors]] [[Category:Immunology]] [[Category:Proteins]]
