Popis: Immune and inflammatory mechanisms are considered to play a key role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Toll-like-Receptor4 and CD14 receptors are involved in the intracellular signalling pathway of the innate immune and inflammatory responses against pathogens. Functional polymorphisms of TLR4 and CD14 have so far conflicting impact on coronary artery disease.
