Abstract excerpt
Genotypic variation in the human interleukin-10 (IL-10) promoter may account for marked inter-individual variation in IL-10 production and may influence susceptibility to autoimmune diseases. The G/A polymorphism at position -1082 has been linked to high/low IL-10 producer status. We directly tested the functional significance of this polymorphism using DNA-binding assays and reporter gene assays, examined allele...
