  • Title: Putative gamma-subunit of the IL-2 receptor is detected in low, intermediate, and high affinity IL-2 receptor-bearing cells.
    Author: Colamonici OR, Neckers LM, Rosolen A.
    Journal: J Immunol; 1990 Jul 01; 145(1):155-60. PubMed ID: 1972716.
    Abstract:
    Three forms of the IL-2R have been reported: low, intermediate, and high affinity. Each form correlates with the expression of two different chains: p55 (alpha-subunit) and p75 (beta-subunit). We report here a putative new subunit of the IL-2R, termed p95-110 or gamma-subunit. This new subunit has a molecular mass of 95 to 110 kDa and is expressed in low, intermediate, and high affinity IL-2R-bearing cells. We propose that p95-110 is the partner of p75 in the formation of intermediate affinity IL-2R, inasmuch as neither p75 nor p95-110 alone can bind IL-2.
