Comparative assessment of virulence of recombinant vaccinia viruses expressing IL-2 and IL-15 in immunodeficient mice
10 Apr 2001
Abstract excerpt
IL-2 and -15 belong to the four alpha-helix bundle family of cytokines and display a spectrum of overlapping immune functions because of shared signal transducing receptor components of the IL-2 receptor complex. However, recent evidence suggests a nonredundant unique role for IL-15 in the establishment and perhaps maintenance of peripheral natural killer (NK) cell populations in vivo. To explore the contribution...
