METHOD OF EXAMINING ALLERGIC DISEASES

摘要

The present inventors collected blood samples from multiple normal healthy subjects and allergic disease patients, and conducted differential display analysis to search for genes with different expression levels among them. As a result, the present inventors succeeded in isolating genes whose expression levels were increased in the patient group. The present inventors discovered that these genes can be utilized in testing for allergic disease, and screening for compounds that serve as candidate therapeutic agents for allergic disease.
