1 The high-affinity IL-2 response is completely resistant to the action of cyclosporin A (CsA), but the low-affinity IL-2 response, although of much larger amplitude, can be almost completely suppressed by CsA. Cyclosporine interleukin 2 Mus musculus
2 Together, these results demonstrate that resting CD4+ thymocytes can be induced to proliferation and lymphokine secretion by IL-2 alone in a process that is dependent on interaction with accessory cells, involves CD4 adhesion molecules and triggers activation through a CsA-sensitive pathway. Cyclosporine interleukin 2 Mus musculus
