Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cytokines are key regulators of measles vaccine humoral and cellular immunity. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are associated with differences in cytokine levels should also influence measles vaccine-induced immunity. METHODS: We genotyped 118 measles-mumps-rubella-vaccina...
