Abstract
The differential display method was used to search for a gene whose expression level in eosinophils collected from patients with atopic dermatitis differs in the exacerbation stage and in the remission stage. As a result, gene “2090-05” showing a significant increase in expression in eosinophils of patients in the remission stage was isolated. This gene is usable in testing for an allergic disease and screening for a candidate compound for a therapeutic agent therefor an allergic disease.
