Abstract excerpt
Current research on the cytokine-mediated signalling towards the polarization and differentiation of a T-helper cell lineage lacks mechanistic insights on the transcriptional regulation of cytokine receptor genes. Here, we propose a new mechanism for the transcriptional regulation of the interferon gamma receptor 1 gene via long-range intrachromosomal interactions with the Ifnγ locus mediated by the protein CTCF....
