Detection of R576 interleukin-4 receptor an allele gene, serum interleukin-4, and eosinophilic cationic protein in atopic dermatitis patients

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic pruritic skin disease. It results from a complex interplay between strong genetic and environmental factors. The aim of this work was to study some biochemical markers of the dermatosis. This included detection of R576 interleukin-4 receptor alpha allele gene. Twenty five patients with AD and 25 controls participated in this study.
Keywords: Allergy; asthma; atopy; cell; dermatitis; eosinophils; interleukin; mast; patients; proteins; remodeling.
