Interaction of STAT5 Dimers on Two Low Affinity Binding Sites Mediates Interleukin 2 (IL-2) Stimulation of IL-2 Receptor α Gene Transcription* [PDF]
Stimulation of the interleukin 2 receptor α (IL-2Rα) gene by IL-2 is important for the proliferation of antigen-activated T lymphocytes. IL-2 regulates IL-2Rα transcription via a conserved 51-nucleotide IL-2 responsive enhancer.

Constitutive Binding of the Transcription Factor Interleukin-2 (IL-2) Enhancer Binding Factor to the IL-2 Promoter* [PDF]
A positive regulatory element in the interleukin-2 (IL-2) promoter, designated the antigen receptor response element-2, is essential for the induction of IL-2 gene expression upon the binding of an inducible multiprotein complex of proteins known as ...

The adapter protein Shc interacts with the interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor upon IL-2 stimulation.
Binding of interleukin-2 (IL-2) to the IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) stimulates Src family kinases, tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins, conversion of Ras to its active GTP-bound form, and eventually c-fos, c-jun, and c-myc induction. The IL-2R beta chain plays a crucial role in IL-2R signaling.

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 ...
