Fig. 5From: The interleukin-27 -964A>G polymorphism enhances sepsis-induced inflammatory responses and confers susceptibility to the development of sepsisThe IL-27 plasmid constructs and functional promoter activities of rs153109 in 293 T, THP-1 and HUVECs. The promoter region of IL-27 DNA sequence (2145 bp) carrying A or G of rs153109 A > G was cloned into pGL3 luciferase reporter vectors (a); the different IL-27 plasmid constructs were transfected into 293 T, THP-1 and HUVEC cells for 48 h, and then the promoter activities were detected by dual-luciferase report assays (b, c, d). Three parallel samples were used in all transfections, and all experiments were performed in triplicate. The error bar represents standard error of the meanBack to article page
