Abstract excerpt
To further clarify the HLA-linked genes susceptible to arterio-vasculitis of unknown etiology, Takayasu's arteritis and Buerger's disease, polymorphism in the MICA gene, a newly identified gene near the HLA-B gene and expressed in epithelial cell lineage, was investigated. Polymerase chain reacti...
