Genetic links between infectious diseases and allergic disorders

Cel

Single nucleotide polymorphisms of 56 genes (CD1A, CD1B, CD1C, CD1D, CD1E, CD80, CD86, CD28, B7H1, B7H2, B7H3, ICOS, OX40, IL12A, IL12B, IL18, IL10, IL1B, TNFA, IFNG, IL4, IL1RN, TBET, GATA3, STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, STAT6, SOCS1, SOCS2, SOCS3, SOCS4, SOCS5, SOCS6, SOCS7, CISH, PIAS1, PIAS3, PIASX, PIASY, IL12R1, IL12R2, IL10RA, IL10RB, IL18R1, IFGR1, IFGR2, IL4RA, IL2RG, IL1R1, IL1R2, TNFAR, TPGER4) responsible for cellular and humoral immune responses and inflammatory pathways will be studied in biosamples banks of atopic asthma patients, their relatives, tuberculosis patients, asthma and helminths Opisthorchis felineus patients, and healthy controls to establish relationship between genetic variation and polar immunological phenotypes. Mouse model will be used to test the effects of genetic background on IgE production after BCG vaccination. This will be analyzed by BCG vaccination of selected low and high responding CcS/Dem mouse strains and establishing their serum IgE levels. Novel genetic regions of interest for human studies will be identified in mouse model by analysis of the effect of BCG vaccination in congenic sub-strains carrying different recombinant haplotypes. The project will bring together human association study and mouse experimental study to test the hypothesis that allergic and infectious diseases may have a common genetic background in spite of their immunological polarity.
