Abstract excerpt
Serum amyloid A (SAA), one of the major acute-phase proteins, increases several hundredfold in concentration in plasma following acute inflammation, primarily as a result of a 200-fold increase in its transcription rate. We have previously demonstrated that a 350-bp promoter fragment from the mouse SAA3 gene could confer conditioned medium-induced expression in cultured cells. The induction is mediated through a...
