Mapping Networks of Immune Genes Behind Autoimmune Diseases

XTalks

However, there is limited knowledge about the upstream regulators of most genes. A downstream approach has traditionally been used by scientists to map networks, wherein a gene for a protein is removed one at a time and the impact on the immune cell’s function is observed. All 24 of the regulators affected the levels of IL2RA.
