Natural Splicing of Exon 2 of Human Interleukin-15 Receptor α-Chain mRNA Results in a Shortened Form with a Distinct Pattern of Expression
1 Sept 1999
Abstract excerpt
We report the existence of eight different interleukin-15 receptor alpha-chain (IL-15Ralpha) transcripts resulting from exon-splicing mechanisms within the IL-15Ralpha gene. Two main classes of transcripts can be distinguished that do or do not (Delta2 isoforms) contain the exon 2-coding sequence. Both classes were expressed in numerous cell lines and tissues (including peripheral blood lymphocytes) at comparable...
