Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Transporter antigen peptide 1 (TAP1) and TAP2 gene products from a transporter molecule involved in antigen presentation. Polymorphic residues have been described in both genes and could have functional consequences in the immune response. OBJECTIVE: We designed a case-control study to investigate the potential association of polymorphism of the TAP1 gene with atopy. METHODS: We used the amplification...
