About
The host immune response to microorganisms is primarily recognized by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), including toll-like receptors and nucleotide-binding oligomeric domain (NOD) receptors (NLRs). The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between periodontal disease and NOD in serum and saliva samples.
