Abstract excerpt
Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is the key receptor for the LPS component of Gram-negative bacteria. We have identified a SNP within the 5' UTR region of the bovine TLR4 gene at position 226 (c.-226C>G) relative to start codon, which was found to be associated with health related traits in the Canadian Holstein population. TLR4 gene expression was measured over time intervals in samples collected from 18 cows (6 cows...
