The possibility that autocrine or paracrine mechanisms of cytokine production and utilization may take place in patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (B-CLL) is discussed. In particular, evidence is provided for a likely role of interleukin 2 (IL2) on the neoplastic B-cell compartment. Furthermore, the possibility that tumor necrosis factor (TNF) may also be involved is suggested.

Abstract
The possibility that autocrine or paracrine mechanisms of cytokine production and utilization may take place in patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (B-CLL) is discussed. In particular, evidence is provided for a likely role of interleukin 2 (IL2) on the neoplastic B-cell compartment. Furthermore, the possibility that tumor necrosis factor (TNF) may also be involved is suggested.
