Abstract:Recombinant human IL‐2 has been used to treat inflammatory diseases and cancer; however, side effects like skin rashes limit the use of this therapeutic. To identify key molecules and cells inducing this side effect, we characterized IL‐2‐induced cutaneous immune reactions and investigated the relevance of CD25 (IL‐2 receptor α) in the process. We injected IL‐2 intradermally into WT mice and observed increases in immune cell subsets in the skin with preferential increases in frequencies of IL‐4‐ and IL‐13‐prod… Show more
