Abstract excerpt
Toll-like receptors (TLR) serve important roles in immunity against microbial pathogens, and TLR3 plays a critical role in the recognition of double-stranded RNA derived from viruses. Two specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the human TLR3 gene, A851T and C1234T, which result in amino acid substitutions, N284I and L412F, respectively, have been described to result in impaired receptor signaling and...
