Viral Activation of Interleukin-15 (IL-15): Characterization of a Virus-Inducible Element in the IL-15 Promoter Region
15 Aug 2000
Abstract excerpt
We identified an interferon regulatory factor motif (IRF-E) upstream of an NF-kappaB binding site in the interleukin-15 (IL-15) promoter. Since these two motifs are part of the virus-inducible enhancer region of the beta interferon promoter, we speculated that there might be similar responses of these two genes to stimuli such as viruses. To test this hypothesis, L929 cells were infected with Newcastle disease...
