Killer immunoglobulin-like Receptors (KIR) haplogroups A and B track with Natural Killer Cells and Cytokine Profile in Aged Subjects: Observations from Octo/Nonagenarians in the Belfast Elderly Longitudinal Free-living Aging STudy (BELFAST) [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Natural Killer Cells (NK) play an important role in detection and elimination of virus-infected, damaged or cancer cells. NK cell function is guided by expression of Killer Immunoglobulin-like Receptors (KIRs) and contributed to by the ...

Soluble Interleukin-2 Receptors in Patients with Advanced Colorectal Carcinoma

The International Journal of Biological Markers, 1996
The levels of soluble interleukin-2 receptors (sIL-2R) were measured in the serum of 52 patients with advanced colorectal carcinoma and compared to CEA and CA 19-9 levels. Twenty-five normal, age and sex-matched individuals served as controls.

Thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin concentration is associated with disease activity and predicts response to treatment with intravenous methylprednisolone in patients with Graves’ orbitopathy

Frontiers in Endocrinology
BackgroundThyroid stimulating immunoglobulins (TSI) play a central role in the pathogenesis of Graves’ orbitopathy (GO), while soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) is a marker for T-cell activity.

Serum level of soluble interleukin‐2 receptor is positively correlated with metabolic tumor volume on 18F‐FDG PET/CT in newly diagnosed patients with diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma

Cancer Medicine, 2019
Diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most frequent subtype of non‐Hodgkin lymphoma. High total metabolic tumor volume (TMTV) calculated using 18F‐FDG PET/CT images at diagnosis predicts poor prognosis of patients with DLBCL.

Diagnostic value of soluble Interleukin-2 receptor in patients suffering neurosarcoidosis: A systematic review

Journal of Central Nervous System Disease
Background Neurosarcoidosis is an inflammatory granulomatous disease. Up to 25% of occult sarcoidosis affecting the nervous system are only detected by autopsy. In addition, in recent years the suspicion arose that the soluble Interleukin-2 Receptor (sIL-
