Abstract

Genetic regulatory networks are devoted to the control of important functions like cell energy, organ morphogenesis, and animal immune defense. Since the innate system of defense represented by the Toll-like receptors (TLRs, already present in insects), mammals have developed an adaptive immune system during the embryonic maturation of their T-cell receptors (TCRs) α and β (TCRα and TCRβ) from strategies ...
