The Interleukin -2

Acta Clinica Belgica, 1987
SummaryDiscovered in 1976, the lymphokine interleukin-2, intensively studied during the last years, plays a major role in the regulation of the immune function. The authors reviewing its principal properties, anticipate forthcoming prospects of considerable implications in therapy.Acta Clin. Bclg. 42, 4: 255–68.

Interleukin-2, Interleukin-15, and Their Receptors

International Reviews of Immunology, 1998
Both IL-15 and IL-2 are 14-15 kDa members of the four alpha-helical bundle family of cytokines that have T cell growth factor activity. In contrast to the pattern manifested by IL-2, IL-15 mRNA is produced by a wide variety of tissues other than T cells. We have demonstrated that IL-15 expression is posttranscriptionally regulated by multiple elements,

Interleukin-2 toxicity. [PDF]

open access: possibleJournal of Clinical Oncology, 1991
Because of the ability of interleukin-2 (IL-2) to support the proliferation and activation of numerous types of immunocompetent cells and to support the survival of adoptively transferred lymphocytes, there has been considerable interest in its use in the immunotherapy of malignancies.

Regulation of Interleukin 2 Receptor Expression by Interleukin 2

Scandinavian Journal of Immunology, 1986
The regulatory influence of Interleukin 2 (IL‐2) on the expression of IL‐2 receptors (IL.‐2R) was studied using long‐term cultured T‐cell lines and recombinant IL‐2 (r‐IL‐2). Three T‐cell lines with different growth requirements were used as model systems: insulin‐specific BK‐BI‐1.2 cells express IL‐2R transiently after antigenic restimulation ...

Interleukin-2

Annual Review of Immunology, 1984
In the past year there have been significant advances in understanding the role of interleukin-2. Its role in the activation of T cells by antigen-presenting cells, the structure-activity relationships between interleukin-2 and its receptor and the subsequent signaling have all become clearer.

Interleukin 2 receptors

Leukemia Research, 1990
Interleukin 2 receptors (IL-2-R) are composed of (at least) two chains: the alpha chain (or p55 or Tac) and the beta chain (or p70 or p75). The association of both chains constitutes high affinity IL2-R complexes (Kd congruent to 10-100 pM), whereas the alpha-chain or the beta chain alone bind IL-2 with low (Kd congruent to 5-50 nM) and intermediate ...

Recombinant Interleukin‐2

Pharmacotherapy: The Journal of Human Pharmacology and Drug Therapy, 1994
Recombinant interleukin (IL)‐2 is a newly approved immunoregulatory protein produced by lymphocytes that exhibits a wide range of immunologic effects. It is a true biologic response modifier in that is has no known direct antitumor activity, but mediates its cytotoxicity through activation of effector cells including T cells, natural killer cells, and ...

Induction of interleukin 2 responsiveness in thymocytes by synergistic action of interleukin 1 and interleukin 2.

The Journal of Immunology, 1985
Abstract Thymocyte cultures from C3H/HeJ mice were stimulated for proliferative responses with purified preparations of interleukin 1 (IL 1) and interleukin 2 (IL 2). Synergistic responses were obtained in the absence of mitogen. In the presence of excess IL 2, the thymocyte proliferation response was strictly dependent on the amount of ...

Expression of interleukin 2 and the interleukin 2 receptor in aging rats

Cellular Immunology, 1989
Lymphocytes of aged animals exhibit a marked decrease in proliferative capacity in response to mitogen stimulation when compared to those of younger animals. In humans and mice the decreased proliferation is due at least in part (i) to the inability of lymphocytes to synthesize sufficient interleukin 2 (IL-2) and (ii) to decreased expression of IL-2 ...

Biotinylated recombinant interleukin-2

Journal of Immunological Methods, 1988
Recombinant interleukin-2 was biotinylated using a N-hydroxyl-succinimidyl [3H]biotin ester. The biotinylated lymphokine retained full binding and growth-promoting activities when assayed on the interleukin-2-dependent murine cell line HT-2. In preliminary studies, biotinylated interleukin-2 was used in conjunction with immunogold staining to ...
