It has been shown that activated T-cells produce and release both IL-2 and IL-
2 receptors (lL-2R). The rate of IL-2 release is proportional to its cell surface
expression and state of cell activation. To clarify the molecular basis of this
immunological aberration, we analysed the amount of soluble IL-2R(SIL2-R) by
an ELISA technique in 68 patients with Behcet's disease (BD), 28 patient controls
(PC) and 31 normal controls (NC).
The data suggest that the amount of SIL-2R in BD is significantly higher
