Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of (AT)n repeat polymorphism of the 3'untranslated region in cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) gene on CTLA-4 mRNA stability and full length (flCTLA-4) and soluble CTLA4 (sCTLA-4) expression in ulcerative colitis (UC). METHODS: flCTLA-4 mRNA in colonic biopsies and sCTLA-4 mRNA stability in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of UC patients were measured by...
