Abstract excerpt
The endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase ERAP1 regulates innate and adaptive immune responses, trimming peptides and loading onto HLA class I molecules. Coding single nucleotide polymorphisms within ERAP1 are associated with autoimmune diseases, viral infections, and cancer development. Our purpose was to analyze the influence of ERAP1 variants on fibrogenesis in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected patients. A range...
