Abstract excerpt
The transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) gene products transport peptides from the cytosol to the endoplasmic reticulum for processing by the immune system. We hypothesized that polymorphisms within the TAP genes may influence measles vaccine antigen processing and hence antibody response. TAP genotypes were determined for subjects who were measles vaccine nonresponders (n = 32) and...
