Abstract excerpt
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play an important role in activating the innate immune response, inducing inflammation and initiating the adaptive immune response. In this study, we assess the influence of TLR7 and TLR8 gene polymorphisms on HIV-1 susceptibility, AIDS development, and treatment outcomes. The TLR7 and TLR8 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped through real-time PCR in 222 patients...
