Studying the Polymorphism in the Gene Encoding Interleukin-17 [rs4711998 (A/G)] with PCR-RFLP in Patients with Brucellosis Compared with Healthy Subjects: A Case-Control Study

Studying the Polymorphism in the Gene Encoding Interleukin-17 [rs4711998 (A/G)] with PCR-RFLP in Patients with Brucellosis Compared with Healthy Subjects: A Case-Control Study

Background and purpose: Brucellosis is a systemic infection caused by gram-negative coccobacilli and facultative intracellular bacteria of the genus Brucella. Interleukin-17 is one of the important cytokines that plays a role in controlling host immune response in patients with brucellosis. The aim...
