- Extra Details:
- Interleukin 2 (IL 2); also termed T-cell growth factor; is a member of the cytokine family which includes IL-4; IL-7; IL-9; IL-15 and IL-21. Each member of this family has a four alpha helix bundle. IL-2 signals through the IL-2 receptor; a complex consisting of tree subunits; termed alpha; beta and gamma. The IL-2 R gamma is shared by cytokine receptors of all members of cytokine family. Mature mouse IL2 shares 56% and 73% aa sequence identity with human and rat IL2; respectively. IL-2 is produced by CD4+ T cell; CD8+ T cells; gamma δ T cells; B cells; dendritic cells and eosinophils; and plays a vital role in key function of the immune system; tolerance and immunity; primarily via its potent stimulatory activity for T cells.Thus; IL2 may be a key cytokine in the natural suppression of autoimmunity.
