Abstract

Activated mononuclear cells expressing interleukin-2 (IL2) receptors (IL2-Rs) heavily infiltrate the Crohn's disease (CD) gut wall. A new technique for the in vivo detection of tissue infiltrating IL2-R positive (IL2R+ve) cells was developed based on 123I-IL2 scintigraphy. The aim of this study was to investigate whether 123I-IL2 accumulates in the CD gut wall in different phases of the disease and to evaluate the specificity of 123I-IL2 binding to activated IL2R+ve cells infiltrating the gut wall.
