Toll like receptor 3 (TLR3) is one of the innate immunity sensors that can be activated by viral double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to induce interferon (IFN) production by host cells including cells of the central nervous system (CNS) (e.g., neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglial cells) (Bsibsi M et al. 2002; Jack CS et al. 2005; Farina C et al. 2005; Prehaud et al. 2005; Zhou Y et al. 2009). The defective TLR3 function is associated with a greater susceptibility to herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) encephalitis (HSE) in otherwise healthy individuals (Zhang SY et al. 2007; Guo Y et al. 2011). HSE is a rare life-threatening complication during HSV-1 infection of the CNS. TLR3 deficiency was found to be an autosomal dominant immunodeficiency caused by the heterozygous TLR3 gene mutation (P554S) reported for 2 unrelated patients or autosomal recessive immunodeficiency due to compound heterozygous mutation (P554S, E746*) in TLR3 gene reported for one patient (Zhang SY et al. 2007; Guo Y et al. 2011). The functional defect in HSE patients with TLR3 deficiency is probably due to a failure to initiate response to viral dsRNA resulting in impaired induction of type I and III interferons (IFN) by the cells of CNS (Zhang SY et al. 2007; Guo Y et al. 2011; Lafaille FG et al. 2012).
