The transcription factor NF-κB is a key factor in the activation of immune responses; it is in turn activated by pattern recognition receptors, such as TLR and NLR receptors. The search for ligands activating innate immunity receptors is an important scientific problem due to the possibility of their use as adjuvants and immunomodulators. In this study the effect of recombinant Pseudomonas aeruginosa OprF proteins and a toxoid (a deletion atoxic form of exotoxin A) on the activation of TLR4, TLR9, NOD1, and NOD2 receptors has been investigated. The study was carried out using free and co-adsorbed on Al(OH)₃ P. aeruginosa proteins and eukaryotic cells encoding these receptors and having NF-κB-dependent reporter genes. The enzymes encoded by the reported genes are able to cleave the substrate with the formation of a colored product, the concentration of which indicates the degree of receptor activation. It was found that free and adsorbed forms of the toxoid were able to activate the TLR4 surface receptor for lipopolysaccharide. OprF and the toxoid activated the intracellular NOD1 receptor, but only in the free form. This may be due to the fact that the cell lines used were not able to phagocytize aluminum hydroxide particles with protein adsorbed on them.
