Abstract excerpt
Alternative splicing is a fine-tuned process known for generating multiple functional variants from individual genes leading to protein diversity. The immune system utilizes pre-mRNA splicing to expand its gene function. Numerous immunologically relevant genes have been found to undergo alternative splicing, thus revealing a new source of complexity in the immune gene network. This review attempts to summarize...
