Toll-like receptor 9 gene mutations and polymorphisms in Japanese ulcerative colitis patients

Figure 1 Toll-like receptor 9 mRNA expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from ulcerative colitis patients and controls. Total RNA was prepared from peripheral blood mononuclear cells and Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) mRNA expression was analyzed by quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. There were no significant differences between ulcerative colitis (UC) patients and controls. NS: No significance.
