Identification of a distant T-bet enhancer responsive to IL-12/Stat4 and IFNγ/Stat1 signals
16 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
T-bet plays a critical role in controlling IFNgamma expression, Th1 polarization, and CD8 cytolytic development. Its regulation has been demonstrated to be mostly IFNgamma/Stat1 dependent while IL-12/Stat4 independent. Here we show that IL-12/Stat4 binds to a distant highly conserved STAT-responsive T-bet enhancer, and induces IFNgamma/Stat1-independent T-bet expression in CD8 T cells. Luciferase reporter assay...
