| Research Abstract |
In this study, we aimed to examine HLA class II subtype of Kawasaki disease (KD) patient and superantigen (SAg) gene detected from his stool, and to prove that there were subgroups of HLA class II subtype which were sensitive to each SAg and that HLA class II subtype was one of the host factors related to KD onset. Concretely, we detected SAg genes in all DNA extracted from KD patients' and control children's stools, and detected HLA class II subtypes in DNA extracted from their blood samples. And we studied the relation between SAg and HLA class II subtypes. But we were behind with starting an experiment because choice of appropriate analyzing system for HLA took time. Furthermore, samples did not gather enough because there was slightly little number of cases of KD for these three years. Therefore we are studying this theme at present. We want to collect samples a little more and continue this study.
