Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and its related disease, toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), are life-threatening drug hypersensitivities with robust immune responses to drugs. Despite the strong HLA predisposition to drug hypersensitivities, such as HLA-B∗1502 to carbamazepine (CBZ)-induced SJS/TEN, it remains unknown whether particular T-cell receptors (TCRs) participate in recognition of small...
