Abstract excerpt
Interleukin (IL)-10 is an important cytokine in immune regulation and promotes B-cell proliferation and antibody production. High levels of IL-10 were found in subjects with autoimmune diseases. The A to G single nucleotide polymorphism at -1087 of the IL-10 promoter is associated with differences in promoter activity and IL-10 production. The objectives of this study were to analyze differences in the...
