Differential estrogen receptor gene expression in human peripheral blood mononuclear cell populations
KL Phiel, RA Henderson, SJ Adelman, MM Elloso - Immunology letters, 2005 - Elsevier
Estrogens have been shown to modulate immune responses. Several studies have
demonstrated the capacity of T cells, B cells, and monocytes to respond to estrogens and
estrogen receptor (ER) expression in these cell types has been reported. However, little is
known regarding the relative expression in these cells of ERα and the more recently
identified ERβ. In the present study, results of quantitative TaqMan™ RT-PCR analyses
indicate that ERs are differentially expressed in PBMC subsets. CD4+ T cells express …
