Abstract excerpt
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are involved in the induction of an adequate immune response on infection. We hypothesized that genetic variation in TLR4 and TLR2 genes could influence this response and lead to variability in cytokine production and survival. We tested this hypothesis in 4292 particip...
