新近的一些研究提示,血清白细胞介素-2受体(IL-2R)的增高,可能是 T 细胞介导的免疫应答(包括迟发型超敏反应)的一种有用的标志。本文作者对已治疗和未经治疗的麻风病人及其家庭内外接触者血清中的可溶性 IL-2R 的水平进行了测定。其中未经治疗的病人包括 LL22例、BL14例、BB3例、BT32例及 TT8例;已用抗麻风药治疗的12例 LL 或 BL 和13例 BT 或 TT 麻风病人;未经治 Recent studies suggest that elevated serum interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) may be a useful marker of T-cell mediated immune responses, including delayed-type hypersensitivity. The authors examined the levels of soluble IL-2R in the serum of both untreated and untreated leprosy patients and their internal and external contacts. Among them, untreated patients included LL22, BL14, BB3, BT32 and TT8; 12 LL or BL and 13 BT or TT leprosy patients who had been treated with anti-leprosy;
