Delivery of engineered interleukin-2 (IL-2) variants (muteins) is thought to be a promising cancer therapy in humans and mice. Our previous study indicated that bovine IL-2 (boIL-2) has a great potential to elicit NK cell activity for which distribution of IL-2 receptors on the target cell surface i...
