Cd44-Hyaluronic Acid Interactions in Il-2 Induced Vascular Leak Syndrome

Immunotherapy with IL-2 is accompanied by severe toxicity leading to development of vascular leak syndrome (VLS). Previous studies from our laboratory demonstrated that CD44 knockout mice exhibit marked decrease in IL-2 induced VLS, thereby suggesting a role for CD44 in VLS. In the current study we...
