Introduction
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play an important role in fast activation of the immune response to a variety of pathogens, including parasites. In this study, we focused on TLR2, because this receptor is one of the best known and most frequently analysed members of the TLR family. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of
Material and Methods
The experimental material consisted of isolates prepared from the intestines (jejunum and colon) of BALB/c mice infected with
Results
Our results based on quantitative real-time PCR showed that the mRNA level for TLR2 was statistically significantly higher in the jejuna of mice infected with
Conclusion
Our results indicate that infection with
