Production and response to interleukin 2 in vitro and in vivo after bone marrow transplantation in mice

J Immunol. 1985 Apr;134(4):2426-30.

Abstract

Lymphoid cells from bone marrow radiation chimeras do not produce normal levels of IL 2 but are capable of responding to IL 2 in mitogenic and cytotoxic assays in vitro. The administration of recombinant human IL 2 into host mice that have received allogeneic, H-2-compatible marrow did not enhance mortality.
