| Method | Abstract: "Here, [researchers] study the interleukin-4 gene (il4) in T-helper lymphocytes, combining mathematical modeling with the experimental quantification of expression variability and critical parameters." |
| Comments | P.3 right column bottom paragraph: "With a realistic transcription rate in the order of 1/s (Alberts et al, 2002), [researchers] estimated the mean number of mRNA molecules (<mRNA>) to lie in the range of ~10^3 per IL-4-expressing cell." |
