The physiological role of the multidrug resistance P-glycoprotein (P-gp), which is expressed by normal human T lymphocytes, is still largely unknown.

The promoter of the human interleukin-2 gene contains two octamer-binding sites and is partially activated by the expression of Oct-2 [PDF]
The gene encoding interleukin-2 (IL-2) contains a sequence 52 to 326 nucleotides upstream of its transcriptional initiation site that promotes transcription in T cells that have been activated by costimulation with tetradecanoyl phorbol myristyl acetate (

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 ...

MHCII-mediated dialog between group 2 innate lymphoid cells and CD4+ T cells potentiates type 2 immunity and promotes parasitic helminth expulsion [PDF]
Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) release interleukin-13 (IL-13) during protective immunity to helminth infection and detrimentally during allergy and asthma.

In the accompanying paper, we showed that natural killer (NK) cells were a major population in the naive spleens of normal mice that responded directly to a T cell growth factor, interleukin 2 (IL 2), and clonally replicated without other stimulating ...

Interleukin-2 receptor antagonists for pediatric liver transplant recipients: A systematic review and meta-analysis of controlled studies [PDF]
Interleukin-2 receptor antagonists (IL-2RA) are frequently used as induction therapy in liver transplant recipients to decrease the risk of acute rejection while allowing the reduction of concomitant immunosuppression. The exact association with the use of IL-2RA however is uncertain.

Interleukin-2 and the IL-2 Receptor: New Insight Into Structure and Function
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) was originally identified in 1976 as a growth factor for T lymphocytes. Since that time it has become an important mediator of immune function through its effects on the growth, development, and activity of T and B lymphocytes, natural killer cells, and lymphokine-activated killer cells. Only cells that bear a specific receptor for

Production of Interleukin-2 IL-2 and Expression of IL-2 Receptor in Patients with IgA Nephropathy
IL-2 production has been measured in several disease including type I diabetes mellitus, systemic lupus erythematosus, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and active pulmonary sarcoidosis and its pathogenetic role was suggested. In IgA nephropathy, altered T cell subsets were reported to be associated with increased synthesis of IgA.
