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.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D003208 Concanavalin A A MANNOSE/GLUCOSE binding lectin isolated from the jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis). It is a potent mitogen used to stimulate cell proliferation in lymphocytes, primarily T-lymphocyte, cultures.

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.
