Here, we investigated the effect of TLR7/8 agonist (Resiquimod) on the expression of mTOR and HIF-1α in patients with CLL. B cells were purified using Rosettesep Human B cell Enrichment Cocktail (Stem cell Technologies, Vancouver, BC, Canada#15,024) from peripheral venous blood of CLL patients (n = 20) and healthy individuals (n = 15). This evidence concerns the gene TLR7 and B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
