We selected 15 tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of NLRP3 and conducted association analyses of NLRP3 using 574 and 1279 samples for food allergy and AIA, respectively.
Iron and infection: effects of host iron status and the iron-regulatory genes haptoglobin and NRAMP1 (SLC11A1) on host-pathogen interactions in tuberculosis and HIV.
These findings provide evidence that CD23 encodes a functional IgE receptor on human intestinal epithelial cells and that this epithelial receptor is likely to play an important role in food allergies.
