An immune response is mounted after binding of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) to pathogen-associated molecular patterns. The primary objective of this study was to test for the associations between bovine single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and insertion-deletion (indel) mutations occurring in seven bovine TLR genes (TLRs 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10) that are known to recognize bacterial ligands and the most...
