Abstract excerpt
Both NOD2/CARD15 alleles are mutated in approximately 10% of Crohn's disease patients, causing loss of functional responses to low-dose muropeptide agonists. We hypothesized that NOD2 mutations may also impair NOD1/CARD4 responses, supported by data suggesting NOD2 1007fs/1007fs patients had reduced responses to a putative NOD1 agonist, diaminopimelic acid-containing muramyl tripeptide (M-TriDAP). We measured...
