Abstract excerpt
Patients with interferon-γ receptor (IFN-γR) null mutations have severe infections with poorly pathogenic Mycobacteria. The IFN-γR complex involves two IFN-γR1 and two IFN-γR2 chains, in which several amino acid substitutions, some linked to disease and some apparently naturally occurring, have been described. We developed a model system to study functional effects of genetic variations in IFN-γR2. We...
