摘要
Several studies have shown that HLA-B8,DR3 positive subjects may display T cell dysfunctions. Recently, a soluble form of the receptor for IL-2 (sIL-2R) has been demonstrated in human sera and in vitro-stimulat-ed culture supernatants from human T lymphocytes. In the present paper we report sIL-2R serum levels and sIL-2R production from peripheral blood mononuclear cells in HLA-B8,DR3 positive subjects. We found that HLA-B8.DR3 positive subjects have the highest values of serum sIL-2R. but comparing the values of these subjects with those of negative ones no significant difference was observed. As regards the in vitro production of sIL-ZR, no difference exists for unstimulated cultures, whereas after stimulation, the HLA-B8,DR3 positive subjects showed the lowest values compared with negative ones. It is noteworthy that these changes are observed in autoimmune diseases linked to this HLA phenotype. © 1990 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
