Regulation of IL-4 gene expression by distal regulatory elements and GATA-3 at the chromatin level.

abstract：:The intestinal mucosa promotes T cell responses that might be beneficial for effective mucosal vaccines. However, intestinal resident memory T (Trm) cell formation and function are poorly understood. We found that oral infection with Listeria monocytogenes induced a robust intestinal CD8 T cell response and blocking e...
