En revanche, ces cellules expriment des récepteurs spécialisés de description récente, les récepteurs Toll ou TLR (Toll-like receptors) se liant à différents composés bactériens: des peptidoglycanes et des lipoprotéines bactériennes dans le cas de TLR2 [...]

OBS

TLR : Bien que la plupart des ouvrages utilisent l'abréviation TLR pour désigner la notion, on devrait éviter de l'utiliser, lorsque c'est possible, car elle est issue du syntagme anglais Toll-like receptor.

OBS

récepteur TLR : Bien que plusieurs auteurs utilisent cette expression, issue de l'anglais (Toll-Like Receptor), il vaudrait mieux lui préférer l'expression française récepteur Toll, qui n'est guère plus longue à écrire.

CONT

La porción citoplasmática del receptor de IL-1 tipo I también es homóloga a la de un receptor de superficie de Drosophila denominado receptor de tipo Toll, que está implicado en la defensa frente a las infecciones.

OBS

receptor de tipo toll; receptor de tipo Toll: Los expertos no se ponen de acuerdo si se debe escribir "toll" con mayúscula o minúscula. Algunos afirman que las normas de nomenclatura génica prefieren la minúscula si la palabra no se refiere a un nombre propio. En este caso, "toll" es una palabra alemana que significa "extraordinario".

OBS

receptor tipo peaje: La palabra "toll" no proviene del inglés, que en español equivale a "peaje". Es un adjetivo alemán que significa "extraordinario".
