Interleukin-2 and Regulatory T Cells in Graft-versus-Host Disease
1 Dec 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Dysfunction of regulatory T (Treg) cells has been detected in diverse inflammatory disorders, including chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Interleukin-2 is critical for Treg cell growth, survival, and activity. We hypothesized that low-dose interleukin-2 could preferentially enhance Treg cells in vivo and suppress clinical manifestations of chronic GVHD. METHODS: In this observational cohort...
