Abstract excerpt
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) 2, 3, 4, 7, 8 and 9 play a crucial role in the recognition of viral entities and modulation of the innate immune system. This work presents sequence analysis of ovine TLR7 and TLR8 genes, depicts novel mutations and describes frequencies of mutations in Maedi Visna infected and healthy sheep. Totally 48 samples of the breed Tsigai were analyzed for the presence of mutations. Within 20...
