Abstract excerpt
Human interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a crucial cytokine for T cell regulation, with therapeutic potential in cancer and autoimmune diseases. However, IL-2's pleiotropic effects across different immune cell types often lead to toxicity and limited efficacy. Previous efforts to enhance IL-2's therapeutic profile have focused on modifying its receptor binding sites. Yet, the underlying dynamics and intramolecular networks...
