Elf-1 and Stat5 Bind to a Critical Element in a New Enhancer of the Human Interleukin-2 Receptor α Gene
1 Dec 1996
Abstract excerpt
The interleukin 2 receptor alpha-chain (IL-2R alpha) gene is a key regulator of lymphocyte proliferation. IL-2R alpha is rapidly and potently induced in T cells in response to mitogenic stimuli. Interleukin 2 (IL-2) stimulates IL-2R alpha. transcription, thereby amplifying expression of its own high-affinity receptor. IL-2R alpha transcription is at least in part controlled by two positive regulatory regions,...
