Introduction and Aims: Both NOD2/CARD15 alleles are mutated in about 15% of Crohn’s disease patients, but functional effects remain unclear. Most studies have been performed in transfected cell lines, which may not reflect function in primary human cells, particularly interactions with toll-like receptor (TLR) pathogen recognition pathways.

Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were cryopreserved from wild type controls (n = 7), NOD2 1007fs/1007fs (n = 4), 908Arg/1007fs (n = 4), 702Trp/1007fs (n = 6), 702Trp/702Trp (n = 5). Cells were stimulated for 22 hours with . . . [Full text of this article]
