Abstract excerpt
HSV-1 persistently infects almost 90% of our population; however, only 30% of the infected subjects suffer from recurrent herpes lesions, most frequently herpes labialis (HL). We hypothesized that variations in toll-like receptor (TLR) functions might contribute to HL susceptibility. In our study, the TLR-2/1,-3, and -7/8 responses of immune cell subsets derived from asymptomatic HSV-1 carriers were compared with...
