Abstract excerpt
The human chromosome region 2q33 including the three costimulatory molecules CD28, CTLA-4 and ICOS, has been subject to much attention due to its linkage to a number of autoimmune diseases. The search for the causal relationship of this linkage has revealed several polymorphisms, but no variations in the amino acid sequences, except for one polymorphism in the leader sequence of CTLA-4. In the present study, we...
