Regulation of expression of the interleukin-2 receptor alpha chain (CD25) in human tonsillar B lymphocytes
1997-01-01
Abstract excerpt
The Interleukin-2 Receptor α chain (IL-2Rα or CD25) plays an important role in B cell activation since it allows formation of the high affinity IL-2 Receptor and thus permits the B cell to respond to physiological concentrations of IL-2. IL-4 appears to be the sole cytokine which can induce IL-2Rα in human tonsillar B cells. In addition, polyvalent anti-lmmunoglobulin antibodies and anti-CD40 antibodies can cause...
