The effect of IL2R density on the rate of T cell cycle progression. Two G0/1 synchronized T cell populations that differed 3-fold in mean IL2R density were exposed to an IL2R saturating concentration (250 pM) for 48 hours and 3H-TdR incorporation was monitored as indicated at 1 hour intervals. The cells with the higher IL2R density (solid circles) entered S-phase before the cell population with the lower IL2R density (solid triangles). From reference 26.
