1 Jan 1993
Abstract excerpt
The gene encoding the gamma chain of the lymphocyte interleukin-2 receptor has been cloned and shown to be required to associate with the beta chain in order for IL-2 internalization and cell activation to occur (1). We considered this gene, IL2RG, a candidate for the X-linked form of severe combined immunodeficiency at the SCIDX1 locus, in which affected males have impaired lymphocyte development. Using...
