Abstract. The present study was undertaken to examine the cellular control arm of the immune response with regard to T lymphocyte proliferation in euthyroid Graves' ophthalmopathy. Twenty patients with euthyroid Graves' ophthalmopathy (7 on antithyroid drugs and 13 on no treatment) and 18 healthy controls were studied in an infection-free period ...

Interleukin-2, anti-interleukin-2 receptor antibody, and activation of macrophages
Cellular Immunology, 1990Macrophages treated with IFN-gamma and IL-2 before exposure to parasites develop the ability to resist infection with amastigotes of Leishmania major. In this cooperative interaction of cytokines, IL-2 can be replaced with any of several mAb directed against the beta chain of the IL-2 receptor, but not by antibodies to a number of other cell receptors ...

Interleukin-2 receptor expression and interleukin-2 production in bullous pemphigoid
Archives of Dermatological Research, 1990Expression of interleukin-2 (IL2) receptors was studied on peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) in 25 patients with bullous pemphigoid. Analysis was carried out by flow cytometry. Without immunosuppressive therapy expression of IL2 receptors only on T cells (CD5) was significantly increased as shown by double staining (11.9% +/- 7.8% vs 2.1% +/- 1% in ...

Biology of the Interleukin-2 Receptor
1998Studies of the biology of the IL-2 receptor have played a major part in establishing several of the fundamental principles that govern our current understanding of immunology. Chief among these is the contribution made by lymphokines to regulation of the interactions among vast numbers of lymphocytes, comprising a number of functionally distinct ...

Abstract The role of interleukin 2 (IL 2) on the expression of IL 2 receptors and on the synthesis of gamma-interferon (gamma-IFN) by human thymocytes was investigated. Human thymocytes isolated from specimens obtained during cardiac surgery of infants and children were induced with one or all of the following agents: IL 2, concanavalin ...

Human interleukin 2 receptor (Tac antigen)
1987Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the biochemical and molecular techniques that have permitted characterization of the human IL-2 receptor (Tac antigen) at the gene, mRNA, and protein levels. Unlike receptors for antigen, IL-2 receptors (Tac antigens) are not present on the surface of resting T cells, but like IL-2, they are induced by the ...

Transfectants expressing the chimeric receptor which has human interleukin-4 receptor (hIL-4R) in the extracellular domain and human interleukin-2 receptor beta chain (hIL-2R beta) in the cytoplasmic domain showed continuous growth in response to human interleukin-4 (hIL-4), whereas transfectants expressing hIL-4R responded only transiently to hIL-4 ...

Serum Interleukin-2 and Soluble Interleukin-2 Receptor in Gestrational Trophoblastic Diseases
Journal of the Society for Gynecologic Investigation, 1996To investigate serum interleukin-2 (IL-2) and soluble interleukin-2 receptor (SIL-2) levels in gestational trophoblastic diseases (GTD).Sixty-six patients with GTDs and 23 first-trimester healthy pregnant women (controls) participated in this study.

Interleukin-2 and the interleukin-2 receptor complex
1990Abstract Interleukin 2 (IL-2), originally designated as a T cell growth factor, is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 15.4 kD. The genes encoding the human, murine, and bovine IL-2 were cloned, their nucleotide sequences determined, and corresponding amino acid sequences deduced.-3 Human IL-2 consists of 133 amino acids and ...

Soluble interleukin-2 receptor in cancer
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2004Levels of serum sIL-2R (soluble interleukin-2 receptor) reflect the total amount of activated T lymphocytes in tumor infiltrating lymphocytes of cancer tissues and metastatic organs, because a part of alpha-chain of IL-2R is released into the bloodstream on the attachment of IL-2 (interleukin-2) to its specific IL-2R membrane.
