Association of PTX3 gene polymorphisms and PTX3 plasma levels with leprosy susceptibility

Association of PTX3 gene polymorphisms and PTX3 plasma levels with leprosy susceptibility

Abstract Background Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is a soluble pattern recognition receptor that plays a crucial role in modulating the inflammatory response and activating the complement system. Additionally, plasma PTX3 has emerged as a potential biomarker for various infectious diseases. The aim of this stu...
