IL-2 binds to high- and low-affinity receptors on activated T cells. The high-affinity receptor was hypothesized to consist of the noncovalent association between the alpha chain (IL-2-R-alpha, p55) and a beta chain (IL-2-R-beta, p70), whereas the low-affinity receptor consists of p55 without p70. We now directly identify p70 as a 65-77-kD glycoprotein doublet. Preparative quantities of the IL-2/p70 complex have been isolated. Further, we demonstrate that p70 is the principal IL-2 binding protein on both resting CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and that both p70 and p55 can be induced on normal B cells and monocytes.
白细胞介素-2(IL-2)与活化T细胞上的高亲和力和低亲和力受体结合。据推测,高亲和力受体由α链(IL-2-R-α,p55)和β链(IL-2-R-β,p70)之间的非共价结合组成,而低亲和力受体由不含p70的p55组成。我们现在直接鉴定出p70是一种65 - 77-kD的糖蛋白双峰。已分离出制备量的IL-2/p70复合物。此外,我们证明p70是静息CD4+和CD8+ T细胞上主要的IL-2结合蛋白,并且p70和p55均可在正常B细胞和单核细胞上被诱导产生。
