Molecular analysis of interleukin-10 gene polymorphisms in patients with Behçet's disease.

abstract：:Cultured T lymphocytes from pig blood can be activated by the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). Activation is additive with that induced by the mitogenic lectin phytohaemagglutinin (PHA). Activation by TPA differs from that induced by PHA or other mitogenic lectins in that it is not inhibited e...
