摘要

The differential display method was used to search for a gene whose expression level in eosinophils of patients with atopic dermatitis. As a result, intersectin 2 was isolated as a gene showing a significant increase in expression in eosinophils of light patients. The gene is usable in testing for an allergic disease and screening for a candidate compound for a therapeutic agent therefor an allergic disease.
