Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Although IL-4 and IL-13 share many biologic activities, some are unique to IL-13. We genotype the IL-13 and IL-4-IL-13-SNPs genes for polymorphisms that could then be used to determine associations with IgE regulation as well as levels of IL-4 and IL-13. METHODS: Eight kinds of IgE specific to penicillins were determined with radioallergosorbent test (RAST) in the sera of 158 patients with penicillin...
