Soluble interleukin 2 receptors are released by long term-cultured insulin-specific T cells transiently after contact with antigen. 1987

A B Reske-Kunz, and H Osawa, and O Josimović-Alasević, and E Rüde, and T Diamantstein

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to quantitate soluble interleukin 2 receptors (IL 2R) released by antigen-dependent, insulin-specific murine T cells into the culture supernatant, as well as cell-associated IL 2R present in cell lysates. IL 2R were released solely after T cell activation by antigen. The release of IL 2R was transient, reaching optimal levels within 72 hr after antigen challenge and gradually declining to background levels thereafter, when the cells were subcultured in IL 2-enriched medium. The decrease in the amount of IL 2R released during culture in IL 2-containing medium paralleled the decrement in cellular IL 2R detected in cell lysates, in cell surface-expressed IL 2R as determined by cytofluorometry, as well as in high-affinity IL 2R. In contrast, IL 2R were constitutively released by an IL 2-dependent T cell clone. Soluble IL 2R might exert an immunoregulatory function by competing with cellular IL 2R for IL 2 binding.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D000938 Antigen-Presenting Cells A heterogeneous group of immunocompetent cells that mediate the cellular immune response by processing and presenting antigens to the T-cells. Traditional antigen-presenting cells include MACROPHAGES; DENDRITIC CELLS; LANGERHANS CELLS; and B-LYMPHOCYTES. FOLLICULAR DENDRITIC CELLS are not traditional antigen-presenting cells, but because they hold antigen on their cell surface in the form of IMMUNE COMPLEXES for B-cell recognition they are considered so by some authors.

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.
