Role of GATA-3 in IL-5 Gene Transcription by CD4+ T Cells of Asthmatic Patients
1 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Helper T cells and T cell cytokines play central roles in allergic disorders including bronchial asthma. We reported enhanced IL-5 production by peripheral blood T cells of asthmatic patients. A transcription factor, GATA-3, has been implicated in IL-5 gene expression. This study was undertaken to clarify the role of GATA-3 in the upregulation of IL-5 synthesis in asthmatic patients. METHOD:...
