Abstract excerpt
IL2RA, a subunit of the high affinity receptor for interleukin-2 (IL2), plays a crucial role in immune homeostasis. Notably, IL2RA expression is induced in CD4+ T cells in response to various stimuli and is constitutive in regulatory T cells (Tregs). We selected for our study 18 CpGs located within cognate regulatory regions of the IL2RA locus and characterized their methylation in naive, regulatory, and memory...
