title: [The suppressive effect of Tripterygium wilfordii hook F on the IL-2 autocrine loop of human T cells].
abstract: We studied the effect of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F on the IL-2 autocrine loop of human T cells in vitro. The results revealed that GTW significantly inhibited the activation of T cells production of IL-2, expression of IL-2R and proliferation response of activated T cells exogenous IL-2.
