From: NOD2 is highly expressed in Behçet disease with pulmonary manifestations
NOD2 mRNA expression correlates significantly with TLR2 and TLR4 mRNA expression in BAL leucocytes harvested from Behcet's Disease (BD) patients with pulmonary manifestations. [A]: Significant correlation was observed between NOD2 and TLR4 mRNA expression, and [B]: NOD2 and TLR2 mRNA expression. To permit correlations, absolute copy numbers of NOD2 and TLR2 and TLR4 mRNA were measured during RT-PCR, using cDNA standards, and expressed relative to 106 mRNA copies of a validated housekeeping gene HuPO. NOD2 mRNA expression correlates significantly with TLR2 and TLR4 mRNA expression
