Background Information
Proliferation of T lymphocytes is triggered by the interaction of IL-2 with its specific receptor following T lymphocyte activation. The receptor for IL-2 has three forms, generated by different combinations of three different proteins, the alpha chain (IL-2R alpha), the beta chain (IL-2R beta), and the gamma chain (IL-2R gamma) (PMID: 8476561). IL-2R alpha (also known as CD25) is a type I transmembrane protein present on activated T cells, activated B cells, some thymocytes, myeloid precursors, and oligodendrocytes. CD25 is also found on natural CD4+Foxp3+ Treg cells and a subset of human CD4+ memory T cells (PMID: 22585674).
