Interleukin 2 (IL-2) augments transcription of the IL-2 receptor gene. [PDF]
We demonstrate that purified interleukin 2 (IL-2) can directly upregulate IL-2 receptor expression on phytohemagglutinin-activated T lymphocytes maintained in culture until IL-2 receptor expression had markedly declined. The IL-2-induced increase in IL-2 receptor number is maximal within 12 hr, requires new RNA and protein synthesis, and is mediated by

Interleukin-2 (IL-2) Interacts With IL-2 Receptor Beta (IL-2Rβ): Its Potential to Enhance the Proliferation of CD4+ T Lymphocytes in Flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) [PDF]
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is an important immunomodulatory cytokine that primarily promotes the activation, proliferation, and differentiation of CD4+ T helper subsets and CD4+ T regulatory cells.

Copper Deficiency Reduces Interleukin-2 (IL-2) Production and IL-2 mRNA in Human T-Lymphocytes , , [PDF]
Although dietary copper (Cu) deficiency has been associated with decreased production of interleukin-2 (IL-2) by activated splenic mononuclear cells in rodent models, the basis for this relationship and its relevance for humans remain unknown. To address these matters, we have developed an in vitro model of cellular copper deficiency by treating Jurkat,

Data on interleukin (IL)-2- and IL-15-dependent changes in IL-2Rβ and IL-2Rγ complexes [PDF]
We provide detailed datasets from our analysis of the proteins that associate with IL-2Rβ and IL-2Rγ in T-cells stimulated with IL-2 or IL-15 compared with resting T-cells, as identified by SILAC-based quantitative proteomics.

RECOMBINANT CYTOKINES IN THE TREATMENT OF PNEUMONIA. CLINICAL EXPERIENCE
Antimicrobial chemotherapy is a keystone of the treatment of pneumonia. Prescription of antibacterial drugs does not always ensure the success of treatment due to the secondary immune deficiency developing in the process of the disease and the rapid ...
