It is not clear how the host initially recognizes and responds to infection by gram-negative pathogenic Brucella spp. It was previously shown (D. S. Weiss, B. Raupach, K. Takeda, S. Akira, and A. Zychlinsky, J. Immunol. 172:4463–4469, 2004) that the early macrophage response against gram-negative bacteria is medi ated by Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), which signals in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Brucella, however, has a noncanonical LPS which does not have potent immunostimulatory activity. We evaluated the kinetics of TLR4 activation and the cytokine response in murine macrophages after Brucella infection. We found that during infection of macrophages, Brucella avoids activation of TLR4 at 6 h but activates TLR4, TLR2, and my...
