the present experiments suggest that this chicken activated t lymphocyte antigen ( catla ) represents the chicken il-2 receptor or an associated structure , as ( i ) the kinetics of catla expression during t cell activation are analogous to those described for the mammalian receptor for il-2 , ( ii ) the il-2 dependent proliferation of mitogen prestimulated chicken lymphocytes is competitively inhibited by inn-ch 16 , and ( iii ) pretreatment of t lymphoblasts with inn-ch 16 drastically reduces their capacity to absorb il-2 activity from supernatants of mitogen activated chicken lymphocytes .
