Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mice lacking the BCL-6 gene product exhibit overexpression of T helper cell type 2 cytokines, and multi-organ inflammatory responses characterized by eosinophilia and infiltration by IgE+ B lymphocytes. Elevated IgE levels appear to result from loss of BCL-6's role in repression of the Stat6-dependent processes of I-epsilon transcription and IgE class-switching. Understanding the regulation of the...
