Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: MHC class II alleles at human chromosome 6p21.1 and alleles in the TCR A/D locus at human chromosome 14q11.2 have been implicated in susceptibility to specific allergies and the modulation of total serum IgE. It has also been hypothesized that HLA and TCR allelic interactions may have a strong influence on predisposition to allergic disease. OBJECTIVE: This study was performed to investigate the...
