Abstract excerpt
Two missense variants (D299G and T399I) of TLR4 are cosegregated in individuals of European descent and, in a number of test systems, result in reduced responsiveness to endotoxin. How these changes within the ectodomain (ecd) of TLR4 affect TLR4 function is unclear. For both wild-type and D299G.T399I TLR4, we used endotoxinCD14 and endotoxinMD-2 complexes of high specific radioactivity to measure: 1) interaction...
