Abstract excerpt
The possibility that immune responses to autoantigens may contribute to the development of atopic disease has been largely ignored. In this paper, we describe the chromosomal localization of the gene for squamous cell carcinoma-associated reactive antigen for cytotoxic T cells (SART-1). The SART-1 gene localized to a region of 11q12-13 showing strong linkage to atopy in previous studies. Further analysis of this...
