Interleukin-2 is an interleukin generated by T4 helper lymphocytes. It induces DNA synthesis in naive lymphocytes. Other terms include Lymphocyte Mitogenic Factor, T-Cell Growth Factor, Thymocyte Stimulating Factor and T-Cell Stimulating Factor.[1]
The gene expresses when stimulated by human T-cell leukemia virus Type 1.[2]
Thalidomide has a costimulatory or adjuvant effect on T-lymphocytes resulting in increased T-cell proliferation and increased production of interleukin-2 and interferon gamma.[3]
