Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Previous studies have shown a negative association between ACP1 *B/*C genotype and total IgE level. ACP1 (acid phosphatase locus 1) is a polymorphic phosphotyrosine phosphatase that interacts with IL4-RA and is involved in T cell receptor signaling. METHODS:In the present paper, we have studied the relationship between *B/*C genotype which shows high ACP1 activity and skin testing in 300 adult subjects referred for allergic manifestations. ACP1 genotypes were determined by DNA analysis. RESULTS:There is a significant negative correlation between the intensity of skin test reaction and *B/*C genotype (p = 0.01). The proportion of *B/*C genotype is lower in allergic subjects with intense skin reaction than in allergic subjects with moderate skin reaction and in healthy controls. CONCLUSIONS:This new observation confirms by a different approach the relationship between ACP1 polymorphism and allergic manifestations, suggesting that high ACP1 activity protects against these manifestations.

abstract:BACKGROUND:Allergic reactions occur rarely in patients with chronic helminth infections, although FcepsilonRI-bearing cells are sensitized with anti-parasite IgE and are exposed to antigen.
