Transcriptional regulation of the IL-2 gene

Curr Opin Immunol. 1995 Jun;7(3):333-42. doi: 10.1016/0952-7915(95)80107-3.

Abstract

The past two years have seen significant advances in our understanding of IL-2 gene transcription. Many of the relevant transcription factors have been identified, the intracellular mechanisms regulating their functions are being elucidated, and the multiple roles of calcineurin are beginning to be appreciated.
