Abstract excerpt
The genes CD28, CD86 and CTLA-4 conform the costimulatory (CD28-CD86) or inhibitory (CTLA-4-CD86) signal in T-cell activation. T-cell immune response has a critical role in allograft rejection, and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in these genes have been widely analyzed with controversial results. We analyzed a group of SNPs located in the three genes: CD28: rs3116496; CD86: rs1129055; and CTLA-4:...
