Background: Leucine-rich repeats (LRR) within the extracellular domain of human TLR9 (hTLRg) mediate binding to CpG ODN.Resultts: LRR11 ofhTLR9 has high affinity for CpG ODN, whereas the mutants of five positivdy charge residues in LRR 11 lack this affinity.Conclusion: LRR11 binds to CpG ODN with high affinity.Significance: LRR11 could be further investigated as an antagonist of hTLRg.
