Expression of Toll-Like Receptors 2 and 4 and Related Cytokines in Patients with Hepatic Cystic and Alveolar Echinococcosis

Figure 1

RT-qPCR analyses of TLR2 and TLR4 mRNA expressions in different groups. The relative expressions of TLR2 and TLR4 were calculated, normalized to GAPDH mRNA. The RT-qPCR data were analyzed using method. Significantly increased TLR2 mRNA expression levels were observed in AE and CE patients when compared with HC subjects (, , resp.). No statistical differences were found in the relative TLR4 mRNA expressions between three groups ().
