A T‐cell growth factor (TCGF) is produced by antigen‐ or mitogen‐stimulated T lymphocytes from the South African clawed frogXenopus laevis. This study further defines the physical and biological properties of this cytokine and demonstrates that TCGF is biochemically similar to mammalian interleukin‐2 (IL‐2). Biologically active TCGF eluted from SDS‐PAGE displays a Mrof 16 kD and lectin‐affinity chromatography indicates that the three‐dimensionmal configuration of carbohydrates on TCGF and human IL‐2 is similar. Secretion of TCGF is detectable 1 day after stimulation of splenocytes with the T‐cell mitogen phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and peaks following 2 to 3 days of stimulation. Finally, despite the biological and physical similarities betweenXenopusTCGF and mammalian IL‐2, anti‐human IL‐2 monoclonal antibodies do not recognizeXenopusTCGF.
