Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Transporter antigen peptide gene (TAP) products are involved in antigen processing. These genes, inducible by interferon gamma, as well as lymphotoxin alpha (LT-alpha), are located in the HLA region. Their involvement in immune response regulation makes them candidate atopy susceptibility genes. OBJECTIVE: This study investigates a possible association between previously identified polymorphisms...
