Interleukin 2 receptor-targeted cytotoxicity. Interleukin 2 receptor- mediated action of a diphtheria toxin-related interleukin 2 fusion protein
The IL-2 toxin-mediated inhibition of protein synthesis in high affinity IL-2-R-positive murine and human T cell lines has been examined. Both excess free IL-2 and mAb to the Tac epitope of the p55 subunit of IL-2-R are shown to block the action of IL-2 toxin; whereas, agents that interact with other receptors or antigens on the T cell surface have no effect. We show that IL-2 toxin, like dipht...
متن کاملAcquired erythropoietin responsiveness of interleukin-2-dependent T lymphocytes retrovirally transduced with genes encoding chimeric erythropoietin/interleukin-2 receptors.
Adoptive immunotherapy with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) causes regression of some human tumors. However, the sustained proliferation and antitumor activity of TILs requires the coadministration of potentially toxic amounts of interleukin-2 (IL-2). In an effort to overcome the requirement by T cells for IL-2, we have introduced alternative growth factor receptors that use the relativel...
متن کاملTransmembrane signaling of interleukin 2 receptor. Conformation and function of human interleukin 2 receptor (p55)/insulin receptor chimeric molecules
Chimeric genes were constructed which gave rise to the expression of novel receptor molecules consisting of the extracellular domain of the human interleukin 2 receptor (IL-2-R; p55 or Tac antigen) joined to the transmembrane domain and either full-length or truncated cytoplasmic domain of the human insulin receptor (Ins-R). Expression studies using mouse T cell line EL-4 revealed that the chim...
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 کاملExpression, purification, refolding, and characterization of octreotide-interleukin-2: a chimeric tumor-targeting protein.
The targeting of tumor cells by peptides for drug delivery is a promising strategy for cancer therapy. Interleukin-2 (IL-2), which mediates anti-tumor cellular immune responses, has been approved as a therapy for cancer. However, the serious side effects and short half-life of recombinant IL-2 (rIL-2) has limited its use clinically. Somatostatin receptors (SSTRs), which are expressed in a large...
