Recruitment of Stat4 to the Human Interferon-α/β Receptor Requires Activated Stat2
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
Stat4 activation is involved in differentiation of type 1 helper (Th1) T cells. Although Stat4 is activated by interleukin (IL)-12 in both human and murine T cells, Stat4 is activated by interferon (IFN)-alpha only in human, but not murine, CD4(+) T cells. This species-specific difference in cytokine activation of Stat4 underlies critical differences in Th1 development in response to cytokines and is important to...
