Abstract excerpt
Humans exhibit substantial inter-individual differences in TNF-alpha production upon endotoxin stimulation. To determine to what extent the lipopolysaccharide-induced TNF-alpha production capacity in vivo and ex vivo is determined by polymorphisms in toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4), the TNF-alpha promoter region and Nod2, we screened for two TLR4 polymorphisms, a Nod2 polymorphism and the TNF-alpha promoter...
