Abstract excerpt
We investigated the polymorphism of the transmembrane region of the MICA gene (major histocompatibility complex class I chain-related gene A) in relation to susceptibility to human brucellosis. We typed 114 patients with brucellosis and 121 healthy controls for MICA transmembrane polymorphism with polymerase chain reaction methods combined with fluorescent technology. We found a significant decrease in the...
