摘要

A gene showing a difference in expression in eosinophils of patients with atopic dermatitis is searched for by the differential display method. As a result, intersectin 2 is identified as a gene showing significantly elevated expression in eosinophils of patients with mild atopic dermatitis. It is found out that this gene is usable in examining allergic diseases and screening candidate compounds for remedies.
