Abstract excerpt
A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the FCGR3A gene results in two allotypes of Fcgamma receptor IIIA (FcgammaRIIIA) with valine (V) or phenylalanine (F) at amino acid 158. Since the FcgammaRIIIA-158 V/F polymorphism is associated with the efficacy of monoclonal antibody (mAb) treatment and a risk factor for autoimmune disease, widely applicable methods to assess the SNP are needed. We developed a novel...
