Abstract excerpt
The Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are related to innate immunity. TLR9, a member of TLRs, is expressed in immune cell-rich tissues and mediates cellular response. We investigated the association between TLR9 polymorphisms and kidney allograft outcomes. To investigate whether TLR9 polymorphisms are associated with acute rejection after renal transplantation, two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of TLR9 gene...
