Polymorphism of the Interleukin‐10 Gene Is Associated with Susceptibility to Epstein‐Barr Virus Infection
1 Aug 1999
Abstract excerpt
There are indications that the cytokine interleukin (IL)-10 has a regulatory role in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-induced infections. Because the human IL-10 gene demonstrates polymorphism resulting in interindividual differences in cytokine production, the frequencies of the alleles defined by the base exchange polymorphism at the position -1082 (allele 1=G, allele 2=A) were analyzed in EBV-seronegative adults,...
