title: [Changes in expression of interleukin-2 and interleukin-2 receptor in lymphocytes in patients with burns].
abstract: IL-2 mainly combines with the IL-2R on the membrane of the lymphocyte, both to promote activation and proliferation. The expression of IL-2 and IL-2R on the lymphocyte was found to be significantly depressed after burn injury. IL-2 was decreased by 40%-60%, and the expression of IL-2R was decreased by 25%-55%, especially on the 7th day after burn. The results demonstrated that burn injury not only influenced the production of IL-2 from T helper cell, but also depressed the expression of IL-2R.
