Tests
The determination of the ratio of the concentration of interleukin-2 receptor to the number of lymphocytes present in a biological sample. The measurement may be expressed as a ratio or percentage.

Indicators
A heterodimeric cytokine composed of interleukin-12 subunit beta and interleukin-23 subunit alpha. This complex binds to the interleukin-23 receptor complex, which activates the JAK-STAT signaling pathway and modulates the proliferation, differentiation and effector functions of T-lymphocytes, natural killer cells and some myeloid lineage cells.
Indicators
Interleukin-4 (153 aa, ~17 kDa) is encoded by the human IL4 gene. This protein is involved in the regulation of the expression of class II MHC molecules, Fc receptors and cell surface-bound immunoglobulins.
Tests
The determination of the amount of interleukin-4 receptor subunit alpha in a sample.

Indicators
Interleukin-5 (134 aa, ~15 kDa) is encoded by the human IL5 gene. This protein plays a role in the growth and differentiation of both B-cells and eosinophils.
Indicators
Interleukin-8 (99 aa, ~11 kDa) is encoded by the human CXCL8 gene. This protein is involved in chemotaxis and neutrophil activation.
Tests
An immunoassay that is used to determine the amount of soluble interleukin-2 receptor subunit alpha in a patient serum sample. High levels of the soluble form of the receptor can be indicative of hematological malignancies and other neoplastic disorders.
