Abstract excerpt
Molecules involved in antigen processing (LMP) and peptide transport (TAP) are coded by polymorphic genes. This polymorphism may influence the peptide antigen selection process and play a role in the pathogenesis of human brucellosis. We studied the polymorphism of the antigen processing and transport genes (LMP and TAP) in 61 patients with human brucellosis and 102 controls from southern Spain. We found no...
