Interleukin 2 gene transcription is regulated by Ikaros-induced changes in histone acetylation in anergic T cells
5 Dec 2006
Abstract excerpt
In T cells anergy may be evoked by an unbalanced stimulation of the T-cell receptor in the absence of costimulation. Anergic T cells are unresponsive to new antigen receptor engagement and do not produce interleukin 2. We present evidence that anergizing stimuli induce changes in histone acetylation, which mediates transcriptional repression of interleukin 2 expression. In response to calcium signaling, anergic T...
