title: Identification of a new isoform of human IL-12 p35 mRNA.
abstract: This study has identified an alternate mRNA isoform of the human interleukin-12 p35 gene differing from normal p35 transcripts by the deletion of exon 3. Exon 3-lacking p35 mRNA was produced by both dendritic cells and Epstein-Barr virus-transformed B cells and was detected only when transcription of normal p35 mRNA was abundant.
