Interleukin-2 is indispensable for development of immunological self-tolerance

Clinical Immunology and Immunopathology
G KlebbI Horak

Abstract

Interleukin-2-deficient mice (IL-2(-/-)) manifest severe immune system abnormalities characterized by an uncontrolled activation and proliferation of lymphocytes. A systemic autoimmune syndrome results, and hemolytic anemia leads to early death especially in mice derived from a BALB/c genotype. Remarkably, IL-2 treatment prevents both the activation of the immune system and the development of autoimmune disease. Moreover, adoptive transfer of lymphocytes from IL-2-treated IL-2(-/-) animals confers protection to IL-2(-/-) mice, suggesting that IL-2 induces a postnatal differentiation/maturation of regulatory cells necessary for self- and non-self-discrimination.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
