Association of genetic variants of membrane receptors related to recognition and induction of immune response with Helicobacter pylori infection in Ecuadorian individuals.

Abstract excerpt

Helicobacter pylori (Hp) has a worldwide distribution showing its higher prevalence of infection in developing countries. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) are proteins that recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and initiate an innate immune response by promoting growth and differentiation of specialized hematopoietic cells for host defense.
