Abstract excerpt
Analysis of subclass-specific germline transcription in activated peripheral B cells revealed a highly biased expression pattern of the four Igamma transcripts to signals through CD40 and IL-4. This difference was most pronounced when comparing the profile of Igamma1 and Igamma4 transcripts and was not expected given the very high degree of sequence conservation between promoters. In this report, the influence of...
