Abstract:
:Serum levels of cell-free interleukin-2 receptors were elevated above normal in mice bearing the IL-2R positive T-cell lymphoma Eb or its highly metastatic variant ESb. Although ESb cells expressed less IL-2R molecules than Eb cells on their cell surface, serum receptor levels were raised more quickly in ESb than in Eb tumour bearing animals. Elevated IL-2R serum levels were a sensitive tumour marker in animals bearing the aggressive variant ESb but not in animals bearing the low metastatic line Eb. Peritoneal ascites tumour-bearing animals had higher serum IL-2R levels than corresponding animals with subcutaneously growing tumours. Thus, serum IL-2R levels in tumour-bearing animals were dependent on the tumour line and influenced by the site and mode of tumour growth.
