Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: IL-5 is crucially involved in eosinophilic inflammation. We have previously reported that IL-5 synthesis by atopic and nonatopic asthmatics is significantly enhanced compared to control subjects. T cell IL-5 synthesis is regulated at the transcriptional level. The proximal human IL-5 promoter (-62 to -46) homologous to the conserved lymphokine element 0 (CLE0) is essential for activation-induced gene...
