Figure 1

Alternative splicing of the human Interleukin 5 receptor alpha gene (hIL-5Rα) generating two transcripts encoding the soluble and membrane-anchored hIL-5Rα isoforms. Skipping of exons 12, 13 and 14 generate the soluble encoding form, whereas for the membrane-anchored encoding variant, only exon 11 is skipped. Arrows indicate the region amplified by the primer pairs 3 or 4.
