Abstract excerpt
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic progressive fibrotic disorder of the lung parenchyma. We have demonstrated changes in IL-10 protein production by alveolar macrophages (AMs) from patients with IPF, which we hypothesise could be because of an IL-10 gene polymorphism. We have screened the coding sequence and 3' untranslated region of IL-10 for polymorphisms using single-standard conformational...
