abstract：:Signal transducer and activator of transcription-1 (STAT1) signaling mediate most biological functions of IFNalpha, IFNbeta and IFNgamma although recent studies indicate that IFNgamma can alter expression of several genes via a STAT1-independent pathway.

abstract：:The interleukin 2 receptor (IL-2R) is composed of at least two polypeptides--a 55 kd protein (the L chain, p55, or alpha chain) and a 75 kd protein (the H chain, p75 or beta chain). The high-affinity binding of IL-2 results in the formation of a ternary complex consisting of IL-2 and the L and H chains. We found that ...
