Interleukin-2 production in Brown-Norway rats with HgCl2-induced autoimmune disease: paradoxical in vivo versus in vitro findings.

abstract：:Allele variants in the L-carnitine (LCAR) transporters OCTN1 (SLC22A4, 1672 C --> T) and OCTN2 (SLC22A5, -207 G --> C) have been implicated in susceptibility to Crohn's disease (CD). LCAR is consumed in the diet and transported actively from the intestinal lumen via the organic cation transporter OCTN2. While recogniz...
