METHOD OF EXAMINING ALLERGIC DISEASE

摘要

MAL is identified as a gene which shows a significant increase in the expression level in T cells contained in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in case of stimulating the PBMC with a tick allergen in vitro. It is found out that this gene is usable in examining an allergic disease and screening a remedy. Thus, a compound useful in treating the allergic disease can be screened.
