Molecular cloning of the pheromone biosynthesis-activating neuropeptide in Helicoverpa zea.

abstract：:Cytokines such as interleukin 4 (IL-4) play a key role in the regulation of immune responses, but little is known about how their multiple activities are regulated in vivo. In this report, we demonstrated that an IL-4-binding protein (IL-4BP) is constitutively present in the biological fluids of mice (serum, ascites, ...
