Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have a prominent role in inducing innate immune response. It has been suggested that regulation of TLRs is involved in the pathogenesis of chronic otitis media.

The objective of this study was to establish expression of TLR 2 and 4 on middle ear mucosa in...
