Role of Toll-like receptor 2 in mediating the production of cytokines and human beta-defensins in oral mucosal epithelial cell response to Leptospiral infection

Role of Toll-like receptor 2 in mediating the production of cytokines and human beta-defensins in oral mucosal epithelial cell response to Leptospiral infection

BACKGROUND: Pathogenic Leptospira spp. is the causative agent of leptospirosis. Oral mucosal cavity is one of portal entry for this bacterium.
