Abstract excerpt
Our previous work showed that alternative splicing is used to make an inhibitory variant of human interleukin (IL)-4. Because of homology between IL-4 and IL-2 proteins and receptors, we tested whether alternative splicing is used to generate similar inhibitory variants of human IL-2. Messenger RNA from peripheral blood mononuclear cells was subjected to reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction using IL-2...
