Interleukin-1-inducible genes in endothelial cells. Cloning of a new gene related to C-reactive protein and serum amyloid P component.
1 Nov 1992
Abstract excerpt
Differential screening of a cDNA library constructed from human umbilical vein endothelial cells exposed for 1 h to interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) has led to the identification of a novel gene (PTX3) related to pentaxins (C-reactive protein and serum amyloid P component in man), a subclass of acute phase proteins. Sequencing of the full-length cDNA clone and RNase mapping revealed that the PTX3 transcript is 1861...
