Down-regulation of toll-like receptor (TLRs) is present in animals with endotoxin tolerance. The spleen is the largest peripheral lymphatic organ in vivo, and it plays an important role in inflammatory reactivity. In this study we investigated TLR2 and TLR4 proteins in the spleen of endotoxic tolerant mice.
