This direct correlation was not observed when NIP45 mRNA was correlated with T-bet, (Fig. 2c,d), another protein present on the promoter of IFN-gamma closely associated with NFATc123, mRNA extracted from the PBMCs of asthmatic and control children, indicating a specific role of Nip45 in association with NFATc1 in allergic asthma (Fig. 2c,d). The gene discussed is NFATC2IP; the disease is allergic asthma.
