Application Note
Interleukin-2 (IL-2), the main lymphokine produced by activated CD4 T-helper lymphocytes, is a potent T-cell growth regulator. In addition to this activity, IL-2 was found to decrease the proliferation of 3T3 fibroblasts in time- and dose-dependent manner. Thus 3T3 cells were seeded overnight at a density of 5000 cells/well, and treated with or without various concentrations of IL2 for 48h, then 3T3 cells were observed by inverted microscope. The inhibitory effect of IL-2 on cell proliferation of 3T3 cells observed by inverted microscope. IL2 significantly decreased cell growth of 3T3 cells, and the ED₅₀ for this effect is typically 9. 876-13. 35 ng/ml.
