STATs and cytokine specificity

Warren J. Leonard

Laboratory of Molecular Immunology National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute National Institutes of Health Bethesda, Maryland 20892−1674, USA

Several STATs transduce signals and activate genes only in response to select cytokines—will all STATs prove so specific?
