In 1960 Nowell first described lymphocyte activation by mitogenic lectins to result in "blastic transformation" and subsequent mitosis, which are complex cellular events that require several days to evolve [ 1 ] . More than 40 years later, we have advanced considerably in our understanding of the cellular and molecular events responsible for these phenomena.
Because the IL-2/IL-2R interaction is discrete molecularly, and leads to a very finite, quantal decision to undergo blastic transformation, DNA synthesis and mitosis, we have focused our first efforts on identifying IL-2-regulated genes expressed by normal human T cells.
Instead, it appeared that the initial activation of cellular competence triggered by the mitogenic lectins was amplified by the LAF activity, which became known later as IL-1, and led to the secretion of the lymphocyte-derived IL-2 and the expression of IL-2Rs [ 14 15 ] . The subsequent interaction of IL-2 with the IL-2Rs then stimulated blastic transformation and progression through G 1 and into the S phase of the cell cycle, followed by mitosis [ 16 ] . Furthermore, detailed studies indicated that successful activation of the IL-2R is a quantal (i.e.
