Competition for IL-2 between regulatory and effector T cells to chisel immune responses
In this review we discuss how the competition for cytokines between different cells of the immune system can shape the system wide immune response. We focus on interleukin-2 (IL-2) secretion by activated effector T cells (Teff) and on the competition for IL-2 consumption between Teff and regulatory...
