Response heterogeneity of human macrophages to ATP is associated with P2X7 receptor expression but not to polymorphisms in the P2RX7 promoter.
A region 2 kb upstream of exon 1 of the P2X7 gene was sequenced using DNA from nine healthy individuals who exhibited three different ATP response phenotypes (i.e. high, low and interferon gamma-inducible). Five single nucleotide polymorphisms were identified within the nine donor promoter sequences...
