Genetic susceptibility to type 1 autoimmune hepatitis is indicated by a preponderance of female subjects and strong associations with human leukocyte antigens (HLA) DRB1\*0301 and DRB1\*0401. The gene encoding cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) on chromosome 2q33 may also influence autoimmuni

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: Polymorphisms in the cytotoxic Tβlymphocyte antigen 4 (__CTLAβ4__) gene have been implicated in susceptibility to cancer, but the many published studies have reported inconclusive results. The objective of the current study was to conduct a metaβanalysis investigating th
Common genetic variants significantly influence complex diseases such as primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). We recently reported an association between PBC and a single nucleotide polymorphism (rs231725) of the immunoreceptor gene cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA4). We hypothesized that PBC risk
Striking morphological similarities exist between T-cell-rich B-cell lymphoma and lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin's disease (Hodgkin's paragranuloma), making the distinction between them extremely difficult. Immunohistochemistry proFides a means of overcoming this difficult!. lmmunostaining with UCHL
We thank Drs Ashton-Key and Isaacson for their interest in our paper. In a similar study on CD45 immunostaining of TCRBCL and LPHD, they found L+H cells positive for either CD45RA (4KB5, 5/12) or CD45RO (UCHL1,7/12). In our series, the L+H cells were found to be 4KB5-as well as UCHL1-negative in 8/1
