Abstract excerpt
The rate of germ-line RNA transcription correlates with the rate of immunoglobulin heavy chain isotype switching. A promoter element for the transcription of RNA from the germ-line mouse immunoglobulin epsilon heavy chain constant region gene is induced by interleukin(IL)-4 and lipopolysaccharide, and is bound at its transcription initiation sites by an IL-4-inducible nuclear protein, NF-BRE. To examine the...
