A cell-free Salmonella typhimurium extract modulates interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor expression but not IL-2-stimulated responses of murine splenic lymphocytes
Abstract:In a previous study, we observed that a cell-free Salmonella typhimurium extract induced suppression of mitogen-induced T-cell proliferation and this suppression involved non-responsiveness of T-cells to interleukin-2 (IL-2). In this study, we found that a cell-free S. typhimurium extract modulated IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) expression on phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated murine spleen cells and this was a mechanism of T-cell non-responsiveness to IL-2, but did not affect IL-2 binding to IL-2R and the consequent … Show more
