ABSTRACT:
Interleukin 2 (IL 2; T-cell growth factor), produced with and without costimulation by Burkitt's lymphoma line Daudi, is highly purified approximately over 37,000-fold to apparent homogeneity from lymphocyte-conditioned medium derived from normal human blood cells by (NH.sub.4).sub.2 SO.sub.4 -precipitation, ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration and hydrophobic chromatography. hp IL-2 is free of pyrogens, B cell inducing factor, B cell growth factor, interferon, CSF, and thymocyte differentiating factor. Nature IL 2 produced in the absence of Daudi cells has a molecular weight of about 26,000 daltons as measured by gel filtration and yields IL 2 having two molecular weights of about 16,000 and 17,000 daltons after denaturation as measured by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. IL 2 produced in the presence of Daudi cells shows a molecular weight of approximately 14,500 daltons as measured by both gel filtration and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
This highly purified IL 2 is shown to correct immunodeficiency states in vitro and in vivo, especially in human patients. It shows value in the treatment of AIDS and immunodeficiency resulting from chemotherpy of cancer, as well as transplantation disorders such as graft versus host disease.
