Abstract excerpt
TLR4 polymorphisms such as Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile related to Gram-negative sepsis have been reported to result in significantly blunted responsiveness to LPS. Our study group previously screened other TLR4 polymorphic variants by checking the NF-κB activation in comparison to wild type (WT) TLR4 in human embryonic kidney 293T cells. In this study, we found that the Lys694Arg (K694R) polymorphism reduced the...
