IL-12B Promoter Polymorphism Associated with Asthma and IL-12B Transcriptional Activity
Background: The interleukin-12B gene (IL-12B) encodes the p40 chain of interleukin-12 (IL-12), which promotes cell-mediated Th1 responses and the production of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) that downregulates IgE production. Chromosome 5q31-q33 near the IL-12B locus is significantly linked to asthma, as...
