Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recent studies have revealed that the prevalence of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome/ Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (SJS/TEN) is associated with genetic backgrounds, such as polymorphisms in human leukocyte antigens (HLAs). However, molecular mechanism involved in the SJS/TEN onset has been largely unknown. In this project, we developed a system for determination of affinity between drug and HLA protein. This system would be useful for estimation of drug adverse reactions.
