Abstract excerpt
Genetic predisposition to tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is rather poorly studied in human populations. Human genes encoding crucial components of antiviral immune response are most likely involved in protective mechanisms against TBE virus. Previously, several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in interleukin 28B (IL28B) and interleukin 10 (IL10) genes were associated with predisposition to chronic...
