Severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions (SCARs) are a group of serious clinical conditions caused by immune reaction to certain drugs. The allelic variance of human leukocyte antigens of HLA-B*13:01 has been strongly associated with hypersensitivities induced by dapsone (DDS). T-cell receptor mediated activation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) has also been suggested to play an essential role in pathogenesis of SCARs. However, HLA-B*13:01-DDS-TCR immune synapse that plays role in drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS) associated T cells activation remains uncharacterized.
