1 A critical cysteine is required for HMGB1 binding to Toll-like receptor 4 and activation of macrophage cytokine release. Cysteine high mobility group box 1 Homo sapiens
2 Surface plasmon resonance studies indicate that HMGB1 binds specifically to TLR4, and that this binding requires a cysteine in position 106. Cysteine high mobility group box 1 Homo sapiens
3 Inhibition of TLR4 binding with neutralizing anti-HMGB1 mAb or by mutating cysteine 106 prevents HMGB1 activation of cytokine release. Cysteine high mobility group box 1 Homo sapiens
