title: Induction of c-fos and c-myc expression in T lymphocytes after treatment with recombinant interleukin 1-alpha.
abstract: Our data demonstrate that an early-acting differentiation/growth factor, such as IL 1, can induce the sequential expression of c-fos and c-myc in lymphocytes. Because such a wide variety of agents induces c-onc expression in lymphocytes, we conclude that the expression of these cellular proto-oncogenes represents a common pathway of response of lymphocytes to an exogenous stimulatory signal regardless of the nature of the factor and its receptor.
