Abstract: The present invention is directed to a cytokine fusion protein comprising an immunocyte targeting domain and a cytokine function domain capable of specifically inducing the proliferation and/or activation of immunocytes. Specifically, the present invention is directed to a fusion protein that specifically delivers cytokines (e.g., IL-2 or IL-15) to exhausted immunocytes (e.g., exhausted T cells) in tumors to induce and increase the activation of the immunocytes. The fusion protein of the present invention can deliver a cytokine, which promotes the proliferation or activation of the immunocyte, selectively to the effector T cells, etc. in the tumor microenvironment, thereby inducing strong immune enhancement and anti-cancer response in tumors and significantly reducing systemic toxicity or side effects of cytokines through the unique structure of the cytokine function domain.
