Abstract excerpt
The serum concentration of rat T1 kininogen increases 20-30-fold in response to acute inflammation, an induced hepatic synthesis regulated primarily at the transcriptional level. To analyze the cis-regulatory elements responsible for the induced transcription, we fused a 1.6-kilobase segment of t...
