Abstract excerpt
The most frequent Caucasian MHC haplotype, AH8.1 - associated with numerous immunopathological differences and certain autoimmune diseases - was recently linked to the delayed onset of bacterial colonization in cystic fibrosis. Based on this observation, we hypothesized that the carriers of AH8.1 have lower risk for a worse outcome in sepsis. AH8.1 carrier state was determined in 207 Caucasian patients with...
