IL-4-induced expression of the IL-1 receptor antagonist gene is mediated by STAT6
1 Sept 1996
Abstract excerpt
IL-4 alone or in cooperation with LPS can induce the expression of the gene encoding the secreted-type IL-1 receptor antagonist (sIL-1ra) in mononuclear phagocytes. To determine the nuclear signaling mechanisms involved in this response, the region flanking the transcription start site of the human sIL-1ra gene was placed upstream of the luciferase reporter gene, and the function of specific sequence elements was...
