A TLR2-associated entry pathway promotes productive dengue virus serotype 2 infection and inflammatory responses in classical monocytes

Severe dengue is characterized by systemic inflammation and vascular leakage. Recent evidence indicates that Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) supports early steps of dengue virus (DENV) infection in monocytes, whereas intracellular viral RNA sensing drives much of the subsequent inflammatory response. However, whether this...
