pubmed:abstractText
The cDNAs encoding bovine and porcine interleukin-2 (IL-2) have been expressed using the baculovirus Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus as a vector in insect cells. Insect cells infected with recombinant viruses secreted bovine and porcine IL-2 into the culture medium, with biological activities for maintaining the proliferation of homologous cells. When the activities of these two IL-2 proteins and commercially available human IL-2 were tested on heterologous cells differences were found. Recombinant bovine (rb)IL-2 only supported the growth of bovine lymphocytes and was not active on human, mouse or porcine lymphocytes. Recombinant porcine (rp)IL-2 and recombinant human (rh)IL-2 supported the proliferation of human, bovine, porcine and murine cells. However, the proliferative response of human lymphocytes to rpIL-2 was only 50% of that seen with rhIL-2. Sequence differences at the predicted p55 and p75 contact binding sites may explain this.
