title: [The relationship between IL-2 production and T cell subpopulation in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus].
abstract: The authors reported IL-2 production and T cell subpopulation of peripheral blood lymphocytes from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE). The results indicated that patients with SLE showed a decreased IL-2 production and a decreased T4/T8 cell ratio. The relation between IL-2 production and T4/T8 ratio was also observed. Our data suggest that IL-2 production correlates significantly with T4/T8 cell ratio.
