  • Mehtod for examining steroid-responsiveness
    Publication number: 20040234969
    Abstract: CYP1B1 was obtained as a gene whose expression levels in mononuclear cells greatly differs between a steroid responder group and a poorly steroid responder group of atopic dermatitis patients. CYP1B1 is a gene whose expression levels are reduced in mononuclear cells of the poorly steroid responder group. The present invention provides a method for testing steroid responsiveness and a method of screening for a compound that is useful in improving steroid responsiveness using the expression level of this gene in biological samples as an indicator.
