Abstract excerpt
Interleukin-4 (IL-4) shows species-specific activity due to species-restricted interaction with the IL-4 receptor alpha (IL-4R alpha) chain. The second subunit of a functional IL-4 receptor, the common gamma chain (gamma c), is more promiscuous, since human IL-4 is able to activate IL-4 receptor complexes containing either human or murine common gamma receptor chain (gamma c). We have stably transfected...
