Table 1 shows demographic and clinical features of the population. Overall, in the 26 SLE patients, we detected a diffuse expression of TLR3 and TLR9 with no significant difference between glomerular staining and tubulointerstitial staining and more pronounced glomerular compared to tubulointerstitial TLR7 and TLR8 expressions (p = 0.004 and p = 0.03, resp). This evidence concerns the gene TLR3 and systemic lupus erythematosus.
