Interleukin-2 binds to ganglioside GD(1b).

abstract：:N(6)-methyl-2(')-deoxyadenosine (MedAdo) is a nucleoside naturally found in prokaryotic DNA. Interestingly, the N(6)-methylation of adenine in DNA seems to have been counter-selected during the course of evolution since MedAdo has not been detected in mammalian DNA until now. We show here that treatment with MedAdo in...
