Recombinant interleukin-2 (rIL-2) is able to maintain the growth and multiplication of T-lymphocytes and IL-2 dependent CTLL-2 cells up to 28 days with the multiplication of T-lymphocytes as high as about 1000 fold. When rIL-2 and its monoclonal antibody were added together, the above functions of rIL-2 were specially blocked, showing that these biological functions were exerted specifically by rIL-2. The rIL-2 is also able to increase the natural killer (NK) activity up to 46-96%, while higher concentrations of rIL-2 might exhibit inhibitory effect. The cytotoxicity of lymphokine activated killer (LAK) cells induced by rIL-2 for killing HL-60 cell line and solid tumour (human lung carcinoma) reached 54.84% and 37.96%, respectively. All these results indicate that the biological functions of rIL-2 were quite similar to that of the natural one.

D007376 Interleukin-2 A soluble substance elaborated by antigen- or mitogen-stimulated T-LYMPHOCYTES which induces DNA synthesis in naive lymphocytes.

D007694 Killer Cells, Natural Bone marrow-derived lymphocytes that possess cytotoxic properties, classically directed against transformed and virus-infected cells. Unlike T CELLS; and B CELLS; NK CELLS are not antigen specific. The cytotoxicity of natural killer cells is determined by the collective signaling of an array of inhibitory and stimulatory CELL SURFACE RECEPTORS. A subset of T-LYMPHOCYTES referred to as NATURAL KILLER T CELLS shares some of the properties of this cell type.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
