Abstract excerpt
Two polymorphic regions have been described within the IL-2 and IL-2 receptor beta genes comprising 15 and 8 alleles, respectively. Whether these polymorphisms have biologic importance is unknown, although they have been variably identified in associated with certain chronic disease states. We report here the detection of four new alleles designated IL-2 A* (122 bp), IL-2R-2 (169 bp), IL-2R 0 (165 bp), and IL-2R...
