Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The purpose here was to detect the association among plasma matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) concentration, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of MMP-9 gene and community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). METHODS: The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) were, respectively used to measure the plasma MMP-9 level and...
