Soluble interleukin-2 receptor in cancer.
نویسنده
چکیده
Levels of serum sIL-2R (soluble interleukin-2 receptor) reflect the total amount of activated T lymphocytes in tumor infiltrating lymphocytes of cancer tissues and metastatic organs, because a part of alpha-chain of IL-2R is released into the bloodstream on the attachment of IL-2 (interleukin-2) to its specific IL-2R membrane. In most malignant diseases, elevated levels of serum sIL-2R are found, compare to normal control. Serum sIL-2R is a useful parameter for evaluating the disease stage and monitoring the disease progression during the post-treatment follow-up, though it is not an organ-specific parameter.

Relationship of serum levels of interleukin-6, soluble interleukin-6 receptor and tumour necrosis factor receptors to the acute-phase protein response in advanced pancreatic cancer.
The level of the acute-phase response is a major predictor of survival in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. This study examines the association between the acute-phase protein response, as determined by serum C-reactive protein, and serum levels of interleukin-6, soluble interleukin-6 receptor and the soluble tumour necrosis factor receptors in patients with pancreatic cancer. Thirty-fo...

Recent studies have demonstrated efficacy of immunotherapies including interleukin-2 (IL-2) in the treatment of malignancies in rodents and humans. High levels of IL-2 receptor-positive cells were found in the peripheral blood of patients receiving recombinant IL-2 in these Phase I clinical trials. This was demonstrated both in patients receiving i.v. IL-2 who had detectable circulating levels ...

This study was undertaken to determine if advanced epithelial ovarian cancer was associated with increased serum and ascitic levels of soluble interleukin-2 receptor a (slL2Ra). Serum and ascitic fluid samples from 23 ovarian cancer patients were analyzed for slL-2Ra using an enzymelinked immunosorbent assay and compared with the serum and peritoneal levels in 18 normal females. The samples wer...
متن کاملSoluble Interleukin-2 Receptor in Crohn's Disease...1995-Dig Dis Sc-1750
In Crohn's disease, the activity of the disease is sometimes difficult to evaluate and the evolution of the disease is difficult to predict. The soluble interleukin-2 receptor serum level has been reported to correlate with clinical activity of the disease and with mucosal immune activation. We compared serum soluble interleukin-2 receptor to classical inflammatory markers and other immune para...

Different immunotherapy regimens using s.c. recombinant interleukin-2 (rIL-2) were studied in 76 patients with progressive metastatic renal carcinoma, malignant melanoma, colorectal cancer, B-cell lymphoma, or Hodgkin's disease. To assess the immunomodulatory capacity of rIL-2, we measured serum levels of soluble interleukin-2 (sIL-2) receptors, gamma-interferon, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, an...
