Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Associations between different gene polymorphisms and severe chronic periodontitis have been demonstrated. However, the influence of such genetic variations on the production of related proteins needs to be clarified. The aim of the present investigation was to study the local expression of interleukin (IL)-10 and membrane-bound CD14 (mCD14) in relation to the -1087 IL-10 and -159 CD14 gene...
