  • 1. Institute of Human Morphology, Moscow, USSR

Description

Interleukin 2 (IL2) activity was determined in clinically healthy persons as well as in patients with various thyroid diseases. The state of thyroid function was assessed by radioimmunoassay. IL-2 activity was assessed by its ability to maintain proliferation of T blast cells. The T blast cells were obtained from mouse spleen cells. After incubation, 3H-thymidine was added to the prepared cells. The results of the three series of experiments performed are shown. It is concluded from the results that thyroid diseases are accompanied by changes in IL 2 production
