Purpose : There has been an increasing amount of literature concerning the association between Mycoplasma pneumoniae and asthma pathogenesis. Interleukin(IL)-6 stimulates the differentiation of monocytes, and can promote Th2 differentiation and simultaneously inhibit Th1 polarization. IL-8 is a potent chemoattractant and, it has been suggested, has a role in asthma pathogenesis. Nitric oxide (NO) synthesized by airway epithelium may be... |

Purpose : The gene-encoding cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4(CTLA-4) is one of the candidate genes for conferring susceptibility to atopic dermatitis(AD). The aim of the study was to investigate the association between Korean children with AD and the polymorphisms of CTLA-4 gene promoter(-318) and exon 1(+49).
Methods : The CTLA-4 promoter(-318 T/C) and exon 1(+49 A/G) polymorphisms were genotyped via restriction fragment... |
