Background: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are agents of innate and adaptive immunity, involved in tumor activation. The expression and functionality of TLR on leukemic cells have seldom been investigated. The aims of the study were to throw some light on the quantitative expression of TLR-7 and TLR-9 on leukemic cells and to compare it with their expression on mononuclear cells of healthy volunteers.
A population of Solea vulgaris was transplanted in 1938 from the Mediterranean to a land locked brackish lake. In 1977, the morphology of these fishes was investigated and a number of measurements made and compared with those of fish caught in the Mediterranean. Among these variations was less vertebrae and fewer dorsal fin rays in the lake soles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
