Abstract excerpt
Primary T helper 2 cells are heterogeneous, expressing subsets of cytokines at varying levels. Mechanisms controlling this spectrum of phenotypes are still unclear. The ETS family transcription factor PU.1 is expressed in Th2 but not Th1 cells. Th2 cytokine production is decreased in cultures transduced with a PU.1-expressing retrovirus and increased in Th2 cells following RNAi that decreases PU.1 expression. In...
