  2. Interleukin 2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interleukin_2

    Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is an interleukin, which is a type of cytokine signaling molecule forming part of the immune system. It is a 15.5–16 kDa protein [ 5 ] that regulates the activities of white blood cells (leukocytes, often lymphocytes ) that are responsible for immunity.

  3. Reference ranges for blood tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_ranges_for_blood...

    Reference ranges (reference intervals) for blood tests are sets of values used by a health professional to interpret a set of medical test results from blood samples. Reference ranges for blood tests are studied within the field of clinical chemistry (also known as "clinical biochemistry", "chemical pathology" or "pure blood chemistry"), the ...

  4. ST2 cardiac biomarker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST2_Cardiac_Biomarker

    The ST2 cardiac biomarker (also known as soluble interleukin 1 receptor-like 1) is a protein biomarker of cardiac stress encoded by the IL1RL1 gene. ST2 signals the presence and severity of adverse cardiac remodeling and tissue fibrosis , which occurs in response to myocardial infarction , acute coronary syndrome , or worsening heart failure .

  5. Interleukin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interleukin

    Interleukin 6 (IL6), also referred to as B-cell stimulatory factor-2 (BSF-2) and interferon beta-2, is a cytokine involved in a wide variety of biological functions. [20] It plays an essential role in the final differentiation of B cells into immunoglobulin-secreting cells, as well as inducing myeloma/plasmacytoma growth, nerve cell ...

  6. IL-2 receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IL-2_receptor

    IL-2 binds to the IL-2 receptor, which has three forms, generated by different combinations of three different proteins, often referred to as "chains": α (alpha) (also called IL-2Rα, CD25, or Tac antigen), β (beta) (also called IL-2Rβ, or CD122), and γ (gamma) (also called IL-2Rγ, γ c, common gamma chain, or CD132); these subunits are also parts of receptors for other cytokines.

  7. IL2RA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IL2RA

    The interleukin-2 receptor alpha chain (also called Tac antigen, P55, and mainly CD25) is a protein involved in the assembly of the high-affinity interleukin-2 receptor, consisting of alpha (IL2RA), beta and the common gamma chain ().

  8. T helper cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_helper_cell

    Interleukin 4 acts on helper T cells to promote the production of T h 2 cytokines (including itself; it is auto-regulatory), while interleukin 10 (IL-10) inhibits a variety of cytokines including interleukin 2 and IFNγ in helper T cells and IL-12 in dendritic cells and macrophages. The combined action of these two cytokines suggests that once ...

  9. CD25 deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD25_deficiency

    CD25 deficiency or interleukin 2 receptor alpha deficiency is an immunodeficiency disorder associated with mutations in the interleukin 2 receptor alpha (CD25) (IL2RA) gene. The mutations cause expression of a defective α chain or complete absence thereof, an essential part of high-affinity interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptors.
