Abstract excerpt
Cell lines are used to model a disease and provide valuable information regarding phenotype, mechanism, and response to novel therapies. Derived from individuals of diverse genetic backgrounds, the cell's genetic complement predicts the phenotype, and although some lines have been sequenced, little emphasis has been placed on genotyping. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are essential in initiating the inflammatory...
