Infection of macrophages with Mycobacteria increased TLR2 in gene and protein levels, respectively (MAP: 10.03 ± 0.64, MTB: 10.11 ± 1.02 vs. uninfected: 1.20 ± 0.67; p < 0.05 for gene; Figure 1A), (MAP: 10.42 ± 0.20, MTB: 11.71 ± 0.42 vs. uninfected: 6.15 ± 1.06; p < 0.05 for protein; Figure 1B). Here, TLR2 is linked to infection.
