Abstract excerpt
A nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the low-affinity IgE receptor (FcvarepsilonRII/CD23) gene resulting in an arginine to tryptophan exchange at amino-acid position 62 (R62W) has been associated with enhanced T-cell responses to antigen in allergic subjects. To explore the mechanism, a CD23(a) cDNA was cloned into the plasmid pCMVScript-CD23a-C with a C allele (R62). The pCMVScript-CD23a-T...
