Abstract excerpt
Interleukin (IL)-6 is a pleiotropic cytokine, produced by different cells. There is accumulating evidence that IL-6 promoter polymorphisms impact substantially on various diseases and we identified kidney transplant recipients carrying the IL-6 GGG/GGG (-597/-572/-174)genotype to have superior graft survival. To prove a functional impact on gene expression, we analysed systematically IL-6 production in healthy...
