Abstract excerpt
Toll like receptors (TLRs) are a class of pattern recognition receptors belonging to the innate immune system. Mutations in the protein coding region of TLRs are associated with altered responsiveness to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). A search was performed for novel mutations in bovine TLR1, TLR2 and TLR4 genes associated with the Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) infection. The...
