Using ELISA and indirect fluorescent antibody techniques(IFAT), the serum soluble inter-leukin-2 receptor(sIL-2R) and membrane IL-2R (mIL-2R) on lymphocyte cells induced by phyto-hemagglutinin (PHA) were studied in patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). The results showed that the level of sIL-2R increased significantly before treatment and decreased after treatment; the percentages of mIL-2R induced by PHA decreased. There was no correlation between the level of serum sIL-2R and that of mIL-2R. Our observations suggest that increased level of serum sIL-2R in ITP patients may be one of causes evoking cellular immunological abnormalities.
