<title>IN SILICO ANALYSIS OF INTERLEUKIN-2: A COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN HOMO SAPIENS AND MUS MUSCULUS </title>
<abstract> lessThan i greaterThan Homo sapiens lessThan /i greaterThan  and  lessThan i greaterThan Mus musculus lessThan /i greaterThan  genomes have the similarity ranges from 70% to 90% with an average of 85%. Interleukin (IL) has 17 different families among which interleukin 2 (IL2) is present in both  lessThan i greaterThan Homo sapiens lessThan /i greaterThan  and  lessThan i greaterThan Mus musculus lessThan /i greaterThan . IL2 activates the receptor named IL2-R which further proliferate lymphocytes such as T-cell and B-cell. IL2 is a glycosylated polypeptide lymphokine. It requires cleavage of the signal sequence for its activity. IL2 is used for immunotherapy to treat cancer and its suppression avoids autoimmunity in patients with transplantations. IL2 of  lessThan i greaterThan Homo sapiens lessThan /i greaterThan  and  lessThan i greaterThan Mus musculus lessThan /i greaterThan  are studied and analysed using simulation and structural analysis methods. The results are compared to obtain their similarity profile. This result can further be applied in the study of inflammatory disease related aspects in future.</abstract>
