Definition of interleukin-2 in English English dictionary
- IL-2
- interleukin
- Any of a group of cytokine proteins important in the regulation of lymphocyte function
- interleukin
- n (in-ter-LOO-kin) Any of several secreted regulatory proteins that are members of the family of cytokines (immune system molecules) that affect functions of specific cell types Interleukins are produced by immune system cells such as lymphocytes, macrophages and monocytes, and modulate inflammation and immunity by regulating growth, mobility and differentiation of lymphoid and other cells
- interleukin
- any of several lymphokines that promote macrophages and killer T cells and B cells and other components of the immune system
- interleukin
- A cytokine that acts as a signal between different leukocyte populations
- interleukin
- Any of a class of naturally occurring proteins important in regulation of lymphocyte function. Several known types are recognized as crucial constituents of the body's immune system (see immunity). Antigens and microbes stimulate production of interleukins, which induce production of various types of lymphocytes in a complex series of reactions that ensure a plentiful supply of T cells that fight specific infectious agents
- interleukin
- a cytokine secreted by immune cells that regulates a range of immune system functions Interleukin 2 (IL-2) promotes the proliferation and activity of other immune cells, and is under study as a immunomodulatory treatment for HIV disease

- interleukin
- any of various compounds of low molecular weight that are produced by lymphocytes, macrophages, and monocytes and that function esp in regulation of the immune system and esp cell-mediated immunity
- interleukin
- Interleukin is a family of proteins that controls aspects of the production of blood cells and platelets (hemopoiesis) and the immune response Eight interleukins are currently characterized; interleukin 2, for instance, stimulates T-lymphocytes and is being investigated for the treatment of cancer

- interleukin
- A group of polypeptides that are members of the family of cytokines which affect functions of specific cell types and are found in small quantities They are secreted regulatory proteins produced by lymphocytes and other cell types
