Abstract excerpt
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) promoter polymorphisms have been linked to a large number of diseases but studies examining the possible direct functional effects of these polymorphisms have been contradictory. Previous studies compared TNF-alpha promoter constructs containing single nucleotide changes. We have now made a series of mutant constructs in which regions of the TNF-alpha promoter containing...
