BATF3 expression has been previously demonstrated to regulate the expression of IL-2Rα/β in anaplastic large cell lymphoma,45 and indeed we found that IL2Ra was significantly upregulated in pomalidomide-treated HIV-specific CD8+ T-cells (3.25-fold, FDR = 3.94E-11). Here, BATF3 is linked to anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
