Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: While studies in animal models have linked Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 signaling to the pathophysiology of ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury and liver fibrosis, the relevance of TLR4 activation after human liver transplantation is unknown. The TLR4 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) D299G is situated within the extracellular domain and diminishes receptor binding to danger-associated molecular...
