Description

Interleukin-2 receptors are proteins on the surface of certain immune cells that bind to interleukin-2, a cytokine involved in the regulation of immune responses. These receptors play a crucial role in the activation and proliferation of T cells, which are essential for the body's defense against infections and tumors.

Interpreters should be aware that 'Receptor de Interleucina-2' is the formal term used in clinical contexts. Common variants may include colloquial terms or abbreviations that are not appropriate for formal settings. It is important to maintain a consistent use of the canonical term to avoid confusion.
