TLR2 and dermatophytosis: The participation of TLR2 in dermatophytosis has been evaluated in keratinocyte cell culture and it was demonstrated that T. rubrum conidia suppress the expression of surface TLR2 on keratinocytes after 24 h (Huang et al., 2015); according to these authors, suppression of TLR2 expression acts as an immune escape mechanism.
