Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The chemokine receptor CCR3 orchestrates the migration of eosinophils, basophils, T(H)2 lymphocytes, and mast cells during the allergic response, with CCR3 blockade a potential means of therapeutic intervention. Non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the ccr3 gene have previously been described, with little information regarding their effects on CCR3 function. OBJECTIVE: To...
