Serum level of soluble Interleukin-2 receptor among human papilloma virus infected female patients.

ABSTRACT: Progression from infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) to cervical cancer in some women is thought to involve a permissive host environment, one in which immune response is mobilized in an inappropriate manner. Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is one of the most studied cytokines driving T-cell proliferation and survival. Soluble Interleukin-2 receptor (sIL2R) was found to play an immunoregulatory role and is detected in the serum of healthy individuals but increases in association with certain types of neoplasms. The aim of the current study was to assess the serum level of sIL2R in HPV infected female patients with genital warts compared to healthy control women and to correlate the results with cervical cytology (pap smear) results to determine the utility of measuring the serum sIL2R levels in
