Cytokine gene polymorphism and parasite susceptibility in free-living rodents: importance of non-coding variants

2021-09-16

Abstract excerpt

Associations between genetic variants and susceptibility to infections have long been studied in free-living hosts to infer contemporary evolutionary forces shaping genetic polymorphisms of the immunity genes. Despite extensive studies of receptors, such as MHC or TLR, little is known about efferent arm of the immune system. Cytokines are signalling molecules that trigger and modulate the immune response, acting a...
