Abstract
We studied the production of and response to interleukin-2 (IL-2) by peripheral blood T lymphocytes from 19 systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients who received no treatment at the time they were studied. Eight had active disease and the rest were in remission. Results were compared with those obtained in 12 healthy subjects of similar age. T cells from SLE patients, whether activated with phytohemagglutinin or in autologous mixed lymphocyte reactions, were found to yield little IL-2, to have a low response to IL-2 from its own, or other sources, and to absorb IL-2 poorly, IL-2 produced by SLE cells, albeit scant, was absorbed normally by activated T cells from normal subjects. Our findings may contribute to the understanding of the immunoregulatory defect in SLE.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
