Abstract excerpt
The transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) encoded in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II region is a molecule required for endogenous antigen processing. We have typed TAP polymorphism in 95 Japanese patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DDM) and 75 normal controls. Amino acid substitutions at positions 333 and 637 of TAP1 and at positions 379, 665, and 687 of TAP2 were...
