Journal ArticleDOI

Cloning of a T cell growth factor that interacts with the beta chain of the interleukin-2 receptor

TL;DR: A cytokine was identified that stimulated the proliferation of T lymphocytes, and a complementary DNA clone encoding this new T cell growth factor was isolated, indicating that IL-15 uses components of the IL-2 receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin (IL) 15 is a novel cytokine that activates human natural killer cells via components of the IL-2 receptor.

TL;DR: A functional analysis of recombinant IL-15 on phenotypically and functionally distinct populations of highly purified human natural killer (NK) cells revealed the presence of high and intermediate affinity receptors for both ligands.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional characterization of the human interleukin-15 receptor alpha chain and close linkage of IL15RA and IL2RA genes.

TL;DR: The isolation of three differentially spliced human IL-15Rα variants that are all capable of high affinity binding ofIL-15 are extended into the human system, suggesting a broader range of cellular targets for IL- 15.
Journal ArticleDOI

IL-15, a novel T cell growth factor that shares activities and receptor components with IL-2.

TL;DR: Differences in the expression pattern of IL-15 and its receptor compared to the IL-2 system suggest unique in vivo roles for IL-teen, which may contribute to the phenotype of X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency in humans, resulting from mutations in the common gamma chain.
