In a previous study, we used an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to measure soluble human interleukin-2 receptors (IL3R), and found that when activated lymphocytes produce cell-associated IL-2R, they also release a soluble form of IL3R into culture supernatants in vitro. Soluble IL-2R have also bee
