Abstract
Here we report the nucleotide sequence of the canine interleukin-2 (IL -2)-encoding cDNA, Cloning of the canine IL-2 cDNA was achieved by the polymerase chain reaction employing, as a template, a cDNA derived fr om mitogen-stimulated canine splenic lymphocyte mRNA, The deduced amin o acid (aa) sequence of canine IL-2 consists of 155 aa and displays 84 % sequence similarity to human IL-2.
