Abstract excerpt
Signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs) are members of a recently identified family of transcription factors that activate gene transcription in response to a number of different cytokines. STAT4 and STAT6 were activated by interleukin (IL)-12 and IL-4 stimulation, which were important for the generation of Th1 and Th2 cells. In this study, we cloned the cDNA sequences and analyzed the genomic...
