What is the role of interleukin 2?

Interleukin-2 is a member of a large group of cytokines or growth factors with several roles. Some of the roles of Interleukin-2, or Thymocyte Stimulating Factor (also called: T-Cell Growth Factor), are: a) induces T-cell growth and proliferation; b) enhances natural killer cell activity; c) potentiates the release of gamma-interferon, B-cell growth factor, and B-cell differentiation factor; d) restores T-cell function in immunodeficiency disease states.Biotech Interleukin-2 drugs are indicated to cancer immunotherapy, T-cell deficiency, various infectious diseases, including AIDS, and autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis.

What is meant by T cell priming?

The first contact of a T or B cell with its specific antigen is called priming. It causes differentiation into effector T or B cells.

What does the t mean in t cells?

Thymus Lymphocytes could be roughly divided into two categories. B cell and T cell. Though they both originate from the bone marrow, T cell migrate to the" thymus," where it reach maturity while B cell got mature in the bone. That is, T stands for thymus. However, B doesn't mean "bone" actually, for B cell was first discovered in the "bursa of Fabricius" in a bird.

How helper T cell stimulate an increase in the number of B cell?

Chemical messages called cytokines that are released by the t cell. These cytokines activate transcription factors that induce B cell proliferation.


A white blood cell necessary for B cells to develop normal levels of antibodies?

Well firstly an antigen presenting cell like dendritic cell or macrophage is needed. Secondly you also need a T cell that is complementary to the B cell. B cell will only become plasma cell when it receives the full signal 1. Stimuli: CD4 from T cell interacting with BcR/antigen complex on B cell 2. Co-stimuli: CD40L (CD154) on T cell interacting with CD40 on B cell This interaction allows T cell to secrete IL4, this binds to IL4R on B cell thus receive signal for proliferating and differentiating.


What is the difference between a b cell and a t cell?

B cells mark the virus or paracite as unknown the killer t cells attack and destroy the virus.
