<p>Recently, it has been reported that TLR2 on macrophages plays a unique role in the inflammatory response and host defense to infection with <emph>Borrelia burgdorferi</emph> (<emph>Bb</emph>) which is an etiologic agent of Lyme disease. Experimental studies show that PMNs also play an essential role in infection control by <emph>Bb</emph>. However, there is no available data about TLR2 expression on PMN in the course of Lyme disease. In the present study, TLR2 expression and production of IL-1<mml:math alttext="$eta$"> <mml:mi>β</mml:mi> </mml:math> and IL-6 as well as their natural regulators (sIL-1RII, IL-1Ra and sIL-6R<mml:math alttext="$alpha$"> <mml:mi>α</mml:mi> </mml:math>, sgp130, resp) by PMN of peripheral blood in patients with Lyme disease were examined.
