Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To identify important pathogen recognition receptor (PRR) pathways regulating innate immune responses and outcome in Staphylococcus aureus sepsis. METHODS: We analysed whether candidate PRR pathway genetic variants were associated with killed S. aureus-induced cytokine responses ex vivo and performed follow-up in vitro studies. We tested the association of our top-ranked variant with cytokine...
