TLR6 and susceptibility to pneumonia measurement: During pneumonia, AECs recognize various pathogens due to the expression of different PRRs, including TLRs [TLR1, TLR2, TLR4, TLR5, TLR6 (Extracellular TLRs), and TLR3, TLR7, TLR8, and TLR9 (Intracellular TLRs)] and NLRs comprising inflammasome (58, 62–64).
