1. A method of identifying a compound that modulates Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling, the method comprising:

  • (a) providing a sample comprising a TLR polypeptide;

    (b) contacting the sample with a cognate TLR ligand and a test compound, thereby forming a test sample;

    (c) incubating the test sample for a time and under conditions sufficient for the TLR ligand to bind to the TLR polypeptide in the absence of the test compound; and

    (d) determining binding between the TLR polypeptide and the TLR ligand in the test sample, wherein a difference in binding in the test sample compared to a control indicates that the test compound is a candidate compound for modulating TLR signaling.
