Interleukin 2 (IL-2) initiated proliferation of the cells of T-enriched population stimulated with non-mitogenic dose of concanavalin A (Con A), whereas it could not induce proliferation of the cells treated with non-mitogenic lectin wheat germ agglutinin (WGA). Use of monoclonal antibody (MAb) directed against interleukin 2 receptor (IL-2R) showed that IL-2 significantly increased expression of IL-2R on the cells of T-enriched population stimulated with Con A, whereas it could not cause any significant enhancement of expression of IL-2R on the cells treated with WGA. We concluded that IL-2 activated T cells in combination with non-mitogenic does of Con A, and induced both expression of IL-2R and proliferation.
白细胞介素2(IL-2)能使在非促有丝分裂剂量的伴刀豆球蛋白A(Con A)刺激下的富含T细胞群体的细胞发生增殖,然而它不能诱导用非促有丝分裂凝集素麦胚凝集素(WGA)处理的细胞增殖。使用针对白细胞介素2受体(IL-2R)的单克隆抗体(MAb)表明,IL-2能显著增加在Con A刺激下的富含T细胞群体的细胞上IL-2R的表达,而它不能使在用WGA处理的细胞上IL-2R的表达有任何显著增强。我们得出结论,IL-2与非促有丝分裂剂量的Con A联合激活T细胞,并诱导IL-2R的表达和细胞增殖。
