Constitutive p40 promoter activation and IL-23 production in the terminal ileum mediated by dendritic cells
1 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
IL-12 p40-related cytokines such as IL-12 p35/p40 heterodimer and IL-23 (p19/p40) are potent regulators of adaptive immune responses. Little is known, however, about the transcriptional regulation of the p40 gene in vivo. In an attempt toward this goal, we have generated transgenic mice expressing firefly luciferase under the control of the IL-12 p40 promoter. High constitutive transgene expression was found in...
