IL-2 coordinates IL-2–producing and regulatory T cell interplay

Many species of bacteria use quorum sensing to sense the amount of secreted metabolites and to adapt their growth according to their population density. We asked whether similar mechanisms would operate in lymphocyte homeostasis. We investigated the regulation of the size of interleukin-2 (IL-2)-producing CD4(+) T cell (IL-2p) pool using different IL-2 reporter mice. We found that in the absenc...

IL-2, regulatory T cells, and tolerance.

IL-2 is a potent T cell growth factor that for many years was assumed to amplify lymphocyte responses in vivo. Accordingly, IL-2 has been used clinically to enhance T cell immunity in patients with AIDS or cancer, and blocking Abs to the IL-2R are used to inhibit T cell responses against transplanted tissues. It was later shown in mice that, unexpectedly, disruption of the IL-2 pathway results ...

Whole Tumor Cell Vaccine Adjuvants: Comparing IL-12 to IL-2 and IL-15

Cancer immunotherapy (passive or active) involves treatments which promote the ability of the immune system to fight tumor cells. Several types of immunotherapeutic agents, such as monoclonal antibodies, immune checkpoint inhibitors, non-specific immunomodulatory agents, and cancer vaccines are currently under intensive investigation in preclinical and clinical trials. Cancer vaccines induce pe...

IL-21 restricts T follicular regulatory T cell proliferation through Bcl-6 mediated inhibition of responsiveness to IL-2

T follicular regulatory (Tfr) cells control the magnitude and specificity of the germinal centre reaction, but how regulation is contained to ensure generation of high-affinity antibody is unknown. Here we show that this balance is maintained by the reciprocal influence of interleukin (IL)-2 and IL-21. The number of IL-2-dependent FoxP3+ regulatory T cells is increased in the peripheral blood o...

IL-2 signaling and CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3+ regulatory T cells.

Although originally described as a potent T cell growth factor in vitro, the main non redundant role of interleukin-2 (IL-2) in vivo is now known to be the maintenance of peripheral T cell tolerance. As well as promoting the proliferation and survival of recently activated effector T cells, IL-2 also plays a critical role in regulatory T cell (Treg) homeostasis and has been variously described ...
