IL-2 also drives the development of CD4 +FOXP3 + regulatory T cells (Treg cells), which have suppressor function and mediate tolerance ( Littman and Rudensky, 2010 Sakaguchi et al., 2008 Shevach, 2009). JAK3 is not shown as it interacts with the cytoplasmic domain of γ c however, mutations in JAK3, as noted in the text, cause a T −B +NK − for SCID, like XSCID.īesides its potent T-cell growth factor activity, IL-2 induces proliferation of natural killer (NK) cells and augments their cytolytic activity as well as that of lymphokine-activated killer cells ( Siegel et al., 1987), promotes antibody production and proliferation by B cells ( Mingari et al., 1984), and is essential for activation-induced cell death (AICD), which is important for homeostasis and the elimination of potentially harmful auto-reactive cells, at least in part by a Fas and FasL-dependent mechanism ( Lenardo et al., 1999). Crosses in red indicate that mutation of IL2RG gene, which encodes γ c, results in X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency in humans (XSCID, where both T cells and NK cells are greatly diminished ), mutation of IL2RA results in an autoimmune syndrome, defective expression of IL2RB results in NK-deficient SCID (where T and B cells remain ), and mutation of IL7R causes T-cell selective form of SCID, where B and NK cell numbers are normal (T −B +NK + SCID).

Author of Homecoming: International Number One in four countries: The United States, The United Kingdom, Germany and Canada. With a tendency toward the melodramatic, he does more than arouse or excite the reader - he engages them.Author of Homecoming: International Number One in four countries: The United States, The United Kingdom, Germany and Canada. And he has a knack for uncovering love and romance in the darkest of places. The fantasies that he shares are full of adventure, peril, bondage, and a dry wit. Keegan is fascinated with the natural power exchanges between dominant and submissive males, and his stories reflect that fascination. He's a self-described, ‘aging, former sex symbol’ with a kinky imagination. view more Originally hailing from Mississippi, Keegan Kennedy is a writer based out of Memphis, TN.
