Abstract excerpt
Mediation of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-specific cytotoxicity in T lymphocyte via the perforin/granzyme pathway has been demonstrated; therefore, a study involving cytolytic molecules was essential for the clarification of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) pathogenesis. This investigation, which analysed the frequency of three allelic mutations of granzyme-B (55Q/R, 95P/A and 247Y/H) in patients with EBV-HLH...
