Abstract

This invention relates to a gene which codes for the IL-6 gene expression inducing nuclear factor C/EBP2 capable of binding sequence-specifically to the palindrome structure SEQ ID NO:2 located in the transcriptional regulatory region of the IL-6 gene; an expression plasmid with the C/EBP2 gene incorporated therein; an transformant harboring the expression plasmid; a recombinant C/EBP2 obtained by expressing the C/EBP2 gene; and a method of producing the recombinant C/EBP2.
