I don't understand what you mean by this "The IL2 molecule was also the first interleukin found to be encoded by a complementary DNA (cDNA),[3]" . Do you mean "cloned?" Genes are not encoded by cDNA's.
A free (public domain) image of mouse lungs treaated with Interleukin 2 is available on the NIH site, but I don't have time to download/upload etc, and didn't want it to forget it:

So who is the one that found IL-2? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.94.44.153 (talk) 23:06, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
It may be pertinent that IL-2 seems to play a key role in some of the behaviors represented in autism. It's also considered a possible culprit in type I diabetes. IL-2 is really quite a busy, little boy, actually. I haven't seen anything like it since I was doing self-study on kappa- and delta-opioids.71.49.57.120 00:29, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
