LP16470-4 Interleukin 2
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is an interleukin, a type of cytokine immune system signaling molecule, which is a leukocytotrophic hormone that is instrumental in the body's natural response to microbial infection and in discriminating between foreign (non-self) and self. IL-2 mediates its effects by binding to IL-2 receptors, which are expressed by lymphocytes, the cells that are responsible for immunity.

LP16470-4 Interleukin 2
The Interleukins belong to the family termed cytokines. They are peptides used by immune and inflammatory cells to communicate and control cell operations. The cytokines have some similar actions to the Growth Factors but Growth Factors regulate proliferation of non-immune cells. Interleukin 2 is a 15,000 molecular weight glycoprotein originally called T Cell Growth Factor. It is released primarily by activated T Cells. Its target cells include T and B cells, Natural Killer Cells, and Lymphokine-activated Killer Cells. Interleukin 2 increases alloantigen responses and improves recovery of immune function. It also induces production of other lymphokines including Tumor Necrosis Factor, g Interferon, and Interleukin 6. It is bound to specific Interleukin 2 receptors located on activated T cells, resting and activated B cells, macrophages, and mast cells.
