Abstract

The induction of an immune response requires the use of various elements, as well as the formation of dynamic networks of interaction between them and their environment. On a molecular level, the view is relatively similar, the sum of the interactions between the components that regulate a cell's transcriptional program, defines its identity and finally its function. While many components are involved in coordinating gene expression, a growing amount evidence seems to demonstrate that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) plays a key role in regulating this process.
