Secondly, the teams vary of their use of receptors for kinfolk receptors have been transmembrane receptors and the pointed out via expression cloning from next activation of the mammalian tissue tradition (2-7).

In light of these findings, the observation that the IL-2/IL2R pathway is ubiquitously expressed in human tissue cells and that it is upregulated in carcinoma cells take on a new significance. The possibility has to be considered that, similar to its effects in hematopoietic cells, the presence of the IL-2/IL-2R pathway in carcinomas might be linked to the susceptibility of these cells to apoptosis. Indeed, the growth of tumours is known to depend not only on cellular proliferation but also on the rate of cell death.
