Figure 1From: Astrocyte production of the chemokine macrophage inflammatory protein-2 is inhibited by the spice principle curcumin at the level of gene transcriptionPGL3-MIP-2. A 537 bp fragment, which corresponds to base-pairs -539 to -2 (relative to adenine [assigned +1] in the translation initiation codon of the MIP-2 gene) was generated and inserted into a promotorless luciferase reporter vector, pGL3-Basic.Back to article page
