Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To study the phosphorylation of STAT-1 in HLA-B27-transfected human monocytic cells and the role of the signaling molecules double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR) and p38 in STAT-1 phosphorylation. METHODS: U937 human monocytic cell transfectants stably expressing wild-type HLA-B27 or mutated HLA-B27 heavy chains with amino acid substitutions in the B pocket were prepared. Mock-transfected...
