Figure 2From: Soluble toll like receptor 2 (TLR-2) is increased in saliva of children with dental caries sCD14 and sTLR-2 concentration in saliva: Clarified saliva was depleted of the high molecular weight abundant proteins, amylase and immunoglobulins, as described in the methods section to increase the sensitivity of detecting of less abundant sCD14 and sTLR-2. The level of (A) sCD14 and (B) sTLR-2 was determined by ELISA. * represents p < 0.05.Back to article page
