Impaired interleukin-2 production in T-cells from a patient with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome: basis of clinical effect of interleukin-2 replacement therapy

Eur J Pediatr. 2000 Aug;159(8):633-4. doi: 10.1007/pl00008395.

Abstract

Interleukin-2 production may be one of the underlying causes of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome immunodeficiency and recombinant interleukin-2 administration (or an infusion of T-cells expanded by CD3 stimulation and rIL-2) is able, to some extent, to restore defective T-cell function.
