Yin-Yang 1 Activates Interleukin-4 Gene Expression in T Cells

Abstract excerpt

Interleukin-4 (IL-4) is a multifunctional cytokine that plays an important role in immune and inflammatory responses. Expression of the IL-4 gene is tightly controlled at the level of gene transcription by both positive and negative regulatory elements in the IL-4 promoter. Several constitutive nuclear factors have been identified that can interact with IL-4 promoter elements in DNA binding assays. Here we report...
