Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Toll-like receptors (TLRs), including TLR4, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Signalling by these receptors involves interactions with intracellular proteins, including the MyD88 adapter-like (Mal) protein. Recently, a polymorphism (Mal S180L) has been described which contributes to susceptibility to common infectious diseases and inhibits proinflammatory cytokine...
