BACKGROUND: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) core and nonstructural (NS) 3 proteins induce inflammation and immunity through a toll-like receptor (TLR) 2-dependent pathway. Individuals with the R753Q single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the TLR2 gene have increased the risk of allograft failure after l...
