abstract：:A20 is a zinc finger protein that renders cells resistant to apoptosis. However, the recent demonstration that A20-deficient mice develop severe inflammation and are hyper-responsive to LPS suggests that A20 may play a key role in regulating the inflammatory response. This study, for the first time, explores the likel...
