Observed differences in correlation between the smallest and the largest number of Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR-2) intron 1 GT repeats per donor and cytokine induction (pg/ml) after stimulation with TLR-2 agonists. PC = stimulated with Pam3Cys-Ser-Lys4, PA = stimulated with Propionibacterium acnes. TNF-α = tumour necrosis factor-alpha, IL-12 = interleukin 12, IL-6 = interleukin 6. Small = per donor the smallest number of GT repeats present was selected for analysis. Large = per donor the largest number of GT repeats present was selected for analysis.
