Abstract:
:A decade after the first description of IL-2-deficient mice, the redundancy of IL-2 as a T cell growth factor is well accepted and the focus of research has shifted to the unexpected multiorgan autoimmunity and inflammation observed in mice lacking components of the IL-2/IL-2R system. So far, a set of defects at the levels of repertoire selection, the generation of suppressive regulatory T cells, T cell homing and clonal contraction via activation induced cell death (AICD) have been documented. We propose that these individual defects jointly contribute to the severe disturbance of T cell homeostasis and self-tolerance underlying the immunopathology of the IL-2 deficiency syndrome.
