Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Innate immune response amplification is achieved by leukocyte expression of the purinergic nucleotide receptor P2X7, an extracellular nucleotide-gated pore. Previously, low P2X7 pore activity in whole blood was associated with loss-of-function genotypes in correlation with a decreased ratio of lipopolysaccharide-stimulated tumor necrosis factor-alpha to interleukin-10, of relevance to a variety of...
