Title:
GENES ASSOCIATED WITH MAST CELL ACTIVATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003029464
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates generally to the changes in gene expression in mast cells and tissues removed from patients with allergic hypersensitivity. The invention specifically relates to the genes MC21, MC22, MC25, MC33, MC36, and MC39, which are differentially expressed in mast cells compared to normal tissues and in resting mast cells versus activated mast cells.
