Abstract excerpt
Liver transplantation activates the innate immune system by toll-like receptors (TLRs), potentially leading to allograft rejection and graft failure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible association of different single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in several TLR genes with the incidence of acute graft rejection in liver transplant recipients for hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related cirrhosis. This is...
