A novel membrane-bound interleukin-2 promotes NK-92 cell persistence and anti-tumor activity
OncoImmunology, 2022 A major challenge in natural killer (NK) cell immunotherapy is the limited persistence of NK cells in vivo. However, the proliferation of NK cells is dependent on cytokines such as interleukin-2 (IL-2).

Interleukin-1 blockade in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: rationale and design of the Diastolic Heart Failure Anakinra Response Trial 2 (D-HART2) [PDF]
, 2017 Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) now accounts for the majority of con-firmed HF cases in the United States. However, there are no highly effective evidence-basedtreatments currently available for these patients.

Human IL-2 Receptor α Chain Deficiency [PDF]
Pediatric Research, 2000 Profound cellular immunodeficiency occurs as the result of mutations in proteins involved in both the differentiation and function of mature lymphoid cells. We describe here a novel human immune aberration arising from a truncation mutation of the IL-2 receptor alpha chain (CD25), a subunit of the tripartite high-affinity receptor for IL-2.

IL-15 sustains IL-7R-independent ILC2 and ILC3 development [PDF]
, 2017 The signals that maintain tissue-resident innate lymphoid cells (ILC) in different microenvironments are incompletely understood. Here we show that IL-7 receptor (IL-7R) is not strictly required for the development of any ILC subset, as residual cells ...

Soluble pIasma IL-2 receptors and maIaria
Clinical and Experimental Immunology, 1993 SUMMARYPIasma levels of soluble IL-2 receptor (sIL-2R) were measured by immunoassay in 180 individuals, aged 1–70 years, living in a maIaria-endemic community in West Africa. slL-2R levels were compared with age. maIaria parasitacmia. maIaria-associated morbidity and cellular immune responses to PIasmodium falciparum antigens.

Roles of IL-25 in Type 2 Inflammation and Autoimmune Pathogenesis
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Interleukin-17E (IL-25) is a member of the IL-17 cytokine family that includes IL-17A to IL-17F. IL-17 family cytokines play a key role in host defense responses and inflammatory diseases.

Interleukin-2 druggability is modulated by global conformational transitions controlled by a helical capping switch. [PDF]
, 2020 Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a small α-helical cytokine that regulates immune cell homeostasis through its recruitment to a high-affinity heterotrimeric receptor complex (IL-2Rα/IL-2Rβ/γc).

Soluble gC1qR is an autocrine signal that induces B1R expression on endothelial cells [PDF]
, 2013 Bradykinin (BK) is one of the most potent vasodilator agonists known and belongs to the kinin family of proinflammatory peptides. BK induces its activity via two G protein-coupled receptors: BK receptor 1 (B1R) and BK receptor 2.

Qualitatively Different T Cell Phenotypic Responses to IL-2 versus IL-15 Are Unified by Identical Dependences on Receptor Signal Strength and Duration [PDF]
, 2013 IL-2 and IL-15 are common γ-chain family cytokines involved in regulation of T cell differentiation and homeostasis. Despite signaling through the same receptors, IL-2 and IL-15 have non-redundant roles in T cell biology, both physiologically and at the ...
