Abstract excerpt
A number of reports have described the monoallelic expression of murine cytokine genes. Here we describe the monoallelic expression of the human IL-1alpha gene in CD4+ T cells. Analysis of peripheral blood T cell clones derived from healthy individuals revealed that the IL-1alpha gene shows predominantly monoallelic expression. Monoallelic expression was observed in Th0, Th1, and Th2 cell clones. In addition, we...
