De novo design of potent and selective mimics of IL-2 and IL-15
We describe a de novo computational approach for designing proteins that recapitulate the binding sites of natural cytokines, but are otherwise unrelated in topology or amino acid sequence.

Modulation of T cell responses by IL-2 and IL-2 complexes
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a cytokine centrally involved in the regulation of immune tolerance and activation by its effects on CD4+ T regulatory (Treg) cells and cytotoxic effector lymphocytes, respectively. Due to these properties IL-2 immunotherapy has been used, as low-dose IL-2, in the treatment of autoimmune and chronic-inflammatory disorders ...

The IL‐2/IL‐2‐Receptor Complex in the Maturation of Rat T‐Cell Progenitors [PDF]
On the basis of both the interleukin‐2‐receptor (IL‐2R) α‐chain expression on 16‐day‐old fetal rat thymocytes and the occurrence of interleukin‐2 (IL‐2) mRNA‐containing cells early during rat thymus ontogeny, we have investigated the possible role of IL‐2/IL‐2R complex in rat T‐cell maturation.

Developmental and Anatomical Patterns Of IL-2 Gene Expression in Vivo in The Murine Thymus [PDF]
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a potent growth factor that mature T lymphocytes synthesize and use as a proliferation signal. Much controversy has arisen concerning whether it is used to drive the extensive proliferation of immature pre-T cells in the thymus ...

Exposure of 1800 MHz Radiofrequency with SAR 1,6 W/kg Caused a Significant Reduction in CD4+ T Cells and Release of Cytokines In-Vitro [PDF]
Background: Although there have been many studies investigating the effects of electromagnetic fields on humans cells and tissues, the effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields exposure on the cells of the immune system are still controversial ...

Study of dose-dependent combination immunotherapy using engineered T cells and IL-2 in cervical cancer [PDF]
Adoptive T cell based immunotherapy is gaining significant traction in cancer treatment. Despite its limited success, so far, in treating solid cancers, it is increasingly successful, demonstrating to have a broader therapeutic potential. In this paper we develop a mathematical model to study the efficacy of engineered T cell receptor (TCR) T cell ...

Revisiting IL-2: Biology and therapeutic prospects
Deeper insights into the biology of interleukin-2 and its receptors are leading to therapeutic strategies for selective Treg stimulation. Interleukin-2 (IL-2), the first cytokine that was molecularly cloned, was shown to be a T cell growth factor ...

Spontaneous Expression of Interleukin-2 In Vivo in Specific Tissues of Young Mice [PDF]
In situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry were used to determine the spectrum of tissues in which interleukin-2 (IL-2) mRNA and protein are found in healthy, normal young mice.

Objectives Open-labelled clinical trials suggested that low-dose IL-2 might be effective in treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). A double-blind and placebo-controlled trial is required to formally evaluate the safety and efficacy of low-dose ...
