Kallenberg, Peter HeeringaBoth the proportions of mTLR+ monocytes (left y-axis), as well as the level of mTLR expression (right y-axis) did not differ significantly between monocytes from nasal carriers and non-carriers. Intracellular levels of TLR9 (iTLR9) were increased in monocytes from patients who were nasal carriers of S. aureus.
