Tlr1 Knockout mouse models
Tlr1 is the mouse ortholog of human TLR1 and encodes a leucine-rich repeat receptor that does not act alone but heterodimerizes with TLR2 at the plasma membrane to sense triacylated bacterial lipopeptides, with the crystallographically defined arrangement placing two lipid chains in the TLR2 pocket and the third in a narrow TLR1 channel, after which paired TIR domains recruit TIRAP and MyD88 to activate IRAK4, IRAK1, TRAF6, and NF-kB. Divergence in the lipid-binding pocket means mouse and human receptors differ in sensitivity to synthetic agonists such as Pam3CSK4 and to mycobacterial lipoproteins, the main argument for ectodomain humanization. Nulls are viable and immunocompetent at baseline, so germline deletion is straightforward, while conditional alleles resolve myeloid versus epithelial sensing. Tlr6 covers diacylated ligands through the same TLR2 partner, so interpret single knockouts cautiously and match alleles to bacterial burden, cytokine induction, or adjuvant response endpoints.
Whole body loss of Tlr1 gives the clearest readout when the question is whether the gene is required at all. Follow up tissue work can still move to a conditional allele if lethality or compensation appears.

Why this approach
A conventional knockout answers whether the gene is required broadly. When your target tissue is the organ of interest, a global null can still be informative if viability is acceptable and you want the simplest genotype. If the null is harsh, a floxed allele with a regional Cre is the safer long term platform.

FAQ
What Tlr1 Knockout mouse models are available?
When Tlr1 Knockout lines are in catalog, we ship from inventory. If your configuration is not listed, we design the allele to order. Common paths include conditional knockout, constitutive knockout, humanized, knockin, and transgenic options, with documented germline transmission and United States QC.
Is Tlr1 knockout embryonic lethal in mice?
It depends on background and allele design. Some Tlr1 germline knockouts are viable. Others need conditional alleles or mixed backgrounds. We review publications and our own experience, then recommend floxed versus null before you commit.
Which Cre driver is best for experiments?
Driver choice depends on onset timing, recombination efficiency, and known leak. We map your organ and cell type to a short list of proven Cre lines, then talk through reporter crosses and controls. We favor drivers with strong community validation for your tissue.
Do you ship live Tlr1 animals?
When catalog lines are live, we ship with health certificates and QC documentation. If your exact combo is not listed, we quote a generation project with cryo or live dispatch depending on cohort timing and geography.
How do I request a quote for Tlr1?
Use the catalog inquire buttons or the request quote form. Include your allele goal, Cre plan if any, strain background, and cohort size. A PhD led team responds with pricing, milestones, and the fastest path to experimental animals.
