Abstract excerpt
Interleukin (IL)-5 exerts hematopoietic functions through binding to the IL-5 receptor subunits, alpha and betac. Specific assembly steps of full-length subunits as they occur in cell membranes, ultimately leading to receptor activation, are not well understood. We tracked the oligomerization of IL-5 receptor subunits using fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) imaging. Full-length IL-5Ralpha and betac...
