Abstract excerpt
A newly described heterodimeric cytokine, interleukin-23 (IL-23) is emerging as a key player in both the innate and the adaptive T helper (Th)17 driven immune response as well as an initiator of several autoimmune diseases. The rate-limiting element of IL-23 production is believed to be driven by expression of the unique p19 subunit encoded by IL23A. We set out to perform comprehensive DNA sequencing of this...
