Abstract
The human interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor was purified by affinity chromatography using the anti-Tac monoclonal antibody, and its N-terminal amino acid sequence was determined. Complementary DNA clones were isolated and sequenced to reveal the primary structure of the IL-2 receptor precursor, which has 272 amino acid residues. The receptor is separated into two domains by a putative 19-residue transmembrane region. Two mRNAs (1.4 and 3.5 kilobases) hybridizing to the cDNA clone were found in human T cells bearing the IL-2 receptor. The cDNA directed synthesis of the IL-2 receptor in COS cells.

Interleukin-2: inception, impact, and implications.

TL;DR: Because T cell clonal proliferation after antigen challenge is obligatory for immune responsiveness and immune memory, the IL-2-T cell system has opened the way to a molecular understanding of phenomena that are fundamental to biology, immunology, and medicine.

Human insulin receptor and its relationship to the tyrosine kinase family of oncogenes

TL;DR: The entire 1,370-amino-acid sequence of the human insulin receptor precursor is deduced from a single complementary DNA clone, finding sequence homologies to human epidermal growth factor receptor and the members of the src family of oncogene products.

Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis: Concepts Emerging from the LDL Receptor System

TL;DR: This data indicates that intracellular routes in the response of the immune system to EMT are regulated by Tournaisian reprograming, a type of ‘spatially aggregating’ behaviour.

Purification of Biologically Active Globin Messenger RNA by Chromatography on Oligothymidylic acid-Cellulose

TL;DR: A convenient technique for the partial purification of large quantities of functional, poly(adenylic acid)-rich mRNA is described and should prove generally useful as an initial step in the isolation of specific mRNAs.
