Lin Zhenwu, Floros Joanna
Abstract excerpt
Random allele expression has recently been observed for several genes including interleukins and genes of the lymphoid system. We studied the hypothesis that the surfactant protein D (SP-D) gene, an innate host defense molecule, exhibits random allele expression in a tissue-specific manner. SP-D gene expression is tissue specific in the 14 tissues studied. Study of SP-D allelic expression in several tissues...
