Transient expression of interleukin 2 receptors. Consequences for T cell growth
T lymphocyte mitosis results from the interaction of interleukin 2 (IL- 2) with specific receptors that appear only after appropriate immune stimulation. To assess the potential role of IL-2 receptor levels in determining the rate and magnitude of T cell

Expression of interleukin 2 receptors on activated human B cells
Using anti-Tac, a monoclonal anti-interleukin 2 (IL-2) receptor antibody, we have explored the possibility that certain activated B cells display receptors for IL-2.

Activated lymphocytes can release a soluble form of IL-2 receptor (sIL-2R), which retains the capacity to bind IL-2. Abnormally high values of sIL-2R have been observed in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Activated B cells express receptors for, and proliferate in response to, pure interleukin 2
In this study we investigated whether interleukin 2 (IL-2) acts on B cell proliferation and whether activated B cells express IL-2 receptors. First, the functional activity of immunoaffinity-purified or recombinant human IL-2 was studied in a B blast ...

Structure-function relationships for the interleukin 2 receptor system
Receptors for interleukin 2 (IL-2) esit in at least three forms which differ in their subunit compositio, their affinity for ligand and their ability to mediate a cellular reponse.

Gamma interferon induced surface expression of interleukin 2 (IL-2) receptors on normal human monocytes and the monocytoid cell lines U937 and HL60. These receptors were detected by anti-IL-2 receptor monoclonal antibodies, and U937 IL-2 receptors were ...

The interleukins comprise a class of hormones that have a definite known secondary and tertiary structure under physiologic conditions. The interleukin-2 is the leader in T cell differentiation. The interleukin-2 acts via interaction with high affinity, cell bound receptors (IL-2R). High affinity IL-2 receptors are constructed by cooperative binding of

Targeted Activation of T Cells with IL-2-Coupled Nanoparticles
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a T cell growth factor particularly required in regulatory T cell maintenance and memory T cell responses. High-dose IL-2 treatment was the first FDA-approved immunotherapy for cancer, while low-dose IL-2 administration has shown ...
