ABSTRACT:
A lymphokine is taught which can be used to activate and stimulate CD3.sup.+, CD4.sup.+ T cells, as well as Sezary leukemic T cells. The lymphokine can be obtained from mitogen-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells or urine of Sezary Syndrome patients. The lymphokine upregulates interleukin-2 receptors.
