abstract：:Mice deficient for SPI-group ETS transcription factors PU.1 or SPI-B fail to generate lymphocytes or do not mount normal antibody mediated immune responses, respectively. PU.1 expression is restricted to B-, T-lymphocytes and macrophages, while SPI-B is expressed in B- and T-lymphocytes. SPI-C is an ETS transcription ...

abstract：:The transcription factor NF-kappaB plays critical roles in immune and inflammatory responses. Here we show that filarial parasitic sheath proteins cause activation of NF-kappaB in the airway epithelial HEp-2 cell line. This activation was transient and saturable, and involved degradation of the cytoplasmic inhibitor p...
