A tumor-specific pro-IL-12 rejuvenated preexisting TILs to induce tumor growth delay without inducing systemic toxicity.

Abstract As a potent lymphocyte activator, interleukin-2 (IL-2) is an FDA-approved treatment for multiple metastatic cancers. However, its clinical use limited by short half-life, low potency, and severe in vivo toxicity. Current IL-2 engineering strategies exhibit evidence of peripheral cytotoxicity. Here, we address these issues prodrug (ProIL2). We mask the activity CD8 T cell-preferential mutein/Fc fusion protein with IL2 receptor beta linked to tumor-associated protease substrate....

Abstract Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is an FDA approved treatment for multiple metastatic cancers. However, while IL-2 a potent activator of CD8 and NK cells, its clinical use limited by short in vivo half-life, low potency, severe toxicity. Current strategies reducing receptor alpha binding increasing beta reduce efficacy or increase Here, we address these issues engineering novel prodrug (ProIL2). We mask the activity T cell-preferred mutein/Fc fusion protein with IL2 linked to tumor-associated...
