Human P40/IL-9. Expression in activated CD4+ T cells, genomic organization, and comparison with the mouse gene.
1 Jun 1990
Abstract excerpt
P40 is a cytokine that was originally identified in the mouse as a T cell growth factor, but whose spectrum of potential targets was recently shown to include mast cells as well as megakaryoblastic leukemic cells. Given these multiple activities, it was proposed that the protein be renamed IL-9. The analysis of P40 genomic clones reported here shows that the human and mouse P40 genes consist of 5 exons spread...
