Research Abstract |
In abacavir hypersensitivity associated with HLA-B* 5701 genecareers, it is strongly suggested that the causal antigen is not peptides derived from protein adducts, as is assumed previously, but the abacavir itself. In the other cases caused by the same mechanism with abacavir hypersensitivity, the existing screening system based on the amount of protein adducts formation cannot find out the risk of adverse effect. The combination with the new screening system to discriminate if the drugs or their metabolites are presented as antigen will improve the prediction accuracy of idiosyncraticadverse effect
