The pleotropic nature of interleukin-2 (IL2) has allowed it to be used as both a pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory therapeutic agent, through promotion of regulatory T cell (Treg) responses via the trimeric IL2RABG receptor or promotion of CD8 T cell responses via the dimeric IL2RBG receptor, respectively. However, the utility of IL2 as a treatment is limited by this same pleiotropy, and protein engineerin...
The ability of immune-modulating biologics to prevent and reverse pathology has transformed recent clinical practice. Full utility in the neuroinflammation space, however, requires identification of both effective targets for local immune modulation and a delivery system capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier. The recent identification and characterization of a small population of regulatory T (Treg) cells...
