Some of the roles of Interleukin-2, or Thymocyte Stimulating Factor (also called: T-Cell Growth Factor), are: a) induces T-cell growth and proliferation; b) enhances natural killer cell activity; c) potentiates the release of gamma-interferon, B-cell growth factor, and B-cell differentiation factor; d) restores T-cell function in immunodeficiency disease states.
Biotech Interleukin-2 drugs are indicated to cancer immunotherapy, T-cell deficiency, various Infectious Diseases, including AIDS, and autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid Arthritis.
