Abstract excerpt
IL-4 is a pleiotropic immunoregulatory cytokine secreted by Th2 subset of CD4(+) Th cells. Several transcription factors (TFs) have been determined with various degrees of certainty to bind the IL-4 promoter and to regulate its expression in human. To investigate the mechanisms responsible for phenotypic effects of the C-33T IL-4 promoter polymorphism, we performed a search of TFs binding to this promoter locus...
