Abstract excerpt
The objectives of this study were to evaluate the influence of the -1087 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) on the gene expression of interleukin (IL)-10 and to identify transcription factors binding to this site in B cells. Using electrophoretic mobility-shift assays and nuclear extract from the DG75 B-cell line, we demonstrated that the Sp1 transcription factor bound to the -1087 G-allele of the IL-10...
