Aminooxy-Acetic Acid Inhibits Experimental Autoimmune Uveitis by Modulating the Balance between Effector and Regulatory Lymphocyte Subsets.

abstract：PURPOSE:Protein sumoylation is a well established regulatory mechanism to control many cellular processes such as chromatin structure dynamics, transcriptional regulation of gene expression, cell proliferation and differentiation, cell transformation and carcinogenesis, autophagy and senescence. In the vertebrate visio...
