Modulation of T cell responses by IL-2 and IL-2 complexes

Boyman, Onur; Kolios, Antonios G A; Raeber, Miro E (2015). Modulation of T cell responses by IL-2 and IL-2 complexes. Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology, 33(4 Suppl 92):S54-S57.

Abstract

Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a cytokine centrally involved in the regulation of immune tolerance and activation by its effects on CD4+ T regulatory (Treg) cells and cytotoxic effector lymphocytes, respectively. Due to these properties IL-2 immunotherapy has been used, as low-dose IL-2, in the treatment of autoimmune and chronic-inflammatory disorders; conversely, at high doses, IL-2 has shown efficacy in a subset of patients with metastatic cancer. Recent advances have highlighted the possibility of using improved IL-2-based therapies, such IL-2-antibody complexes (IL-2 complexes), able to selectively and potently stimulate either Treg cells or cytotoxic effector cells. This article discusses the properties and clinical implications of IL-2 and IL-2 complexes.
