Expression of two interleukin‐15 mRNA isoforms in human tumors does not correlate with secretion: role of different signal peptides
1 May 1997
Abstract excerpt
Interleukin (IL)-15 is a four-helix bundle cytokine sharing several biological properties with IL-2. By reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis, human cancer cell lines of different histotypes are shown to express two IL-15 amplification products: a 524-bp band corresponding to the IL-15 mRNA found in macrophages, and another of 643 bp corresponding to an alternatively spliced mRNA including a...
