The Protein Product of the Tumor Suppressor Gene, Melanoma Differentiation-Associated Gene 7, Exhibits Immunostimulatory Activity and Is Designated IL-24
1 Jun 2002
Abstract excerpt
The melanoma differentiation-associated gene 7 (mda-7) has been studied primarily in the context of its tumor suppressor activity. Although mda-7 has been designated as IL-24 based on its gene location in the IL-10 locus and its mRNA expression in leukocytes, no functional evidence supporting this cytokine designation exists. To further characterize MDA-7/IL-24 expression patterns in the human immune system,...
