Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Toll-like receptor-3 (TLR3) is a cellular receptor that may recognize double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) from viruses, resulting in production of proinflammatory cytokines and interferons, which are important for the adaptive immune response. OBJECTIVES: To analyze the association between Toll-like receptor-3 (TLR3) polymorphisms (rs3775291 and rs13126816) and virologic response to pegylated interferon-alpha...
