Profile of interleukin-2 production in human mononuclear cells and T-cell lines
Introduction: Interleukin-2 (IL-2) as a T helper type 1 (Th1) cytokine has an important role Background and Objective: Interleukin-2 (IL-2) as a T helper type 1 (Th1) cytokine has an important role in activation, growth and differentiation of several immune cells. Moreover IL-2 is known as a pro-inflammatory and anti-tumoral cytokine. In addition deysregulation of IL-2 in some diseases such as ...
متن کاملConstitutive expression of high affinity interleukin 2 receptors on human CD16-natural killer cells in vivo
The majority of human NK cells express low affinity IgG Fc receptors (CD16+), whereas a minor subset of NK cells lack Fc receptor expression (CD16-). In contrast to CD16+ NK cells that express only p75 IL-2 receptors, CD16- NK cells constitutively co-express both p75 and p55 IL-2 receptors in vivo and preferentially respond to low concentrations of IL-2 with increased cytolytic activation and p...
متن کاملHigh-affinity receptor-mediated internalization and degradation of interleukin 2 in human T cells
Receptor-mediated internalization and degradation of IL-2 were investigated in cell lines carrying human T cell leukemia/lymphoma (lymphotrophic) virus type I (HTLV-I) and PHA-treated normal PBL. The HTLV-I-carrying cell lines ILT-Yan and TL-Mor, and the PBL expressed both high- and low-affinity IL-2-R. However, another HTLV-I-carrying T cell line, MT-1, expressed mainly low-affinity receptors....
متن کاملEffect of Vitamin D treatment on Interleukin-2 and Interleukin-4 Genes expression in Multiple Sclerosis
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of central nervous system. The etiology of MS is slightly known, but genetic and environmental factors are reported. Vitamin D regulates gene expression and affects target cell functions. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression variation of IL-2 and IL-4 genes under vitamin D supplementation in patients with mult...
متن کاملInduction of phenotypic differentiation, interleukin 2 production, and PHA responsiveness of "immature" human thymocytes by interleukin 1 and phorbol ester.
Small human thymocytes (ST) representing 70% of the thymocytes were isolated according to size by centrifugal elutriation. Although these ST contained approximately 30% PNA-cells, they failed to respond to lectins, indicating the existence of a PNA-ST subset that can be considered to belong to the "immature" thymocyte population. The ST were induced to proliferate if, in addition to PHA, IL 1-c...
