  • ACTIVATABLE INTERLEUKIN-2 POLYPEPTIDES AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
    Publication number: 20200283490
    Abstract: The disclosure features fusion proteins that are conditionally active variants of IL-2. In one aspect, the full-length polypeptides of the invention have reduced or minimal cytokine-receptor activating activity even though they contain a functional cytokine polypeptide. Upon activation, e.g., by cleavage of a linker that joins a blocking moiety, e.g., a steric blocking polypeptide, in sequence to the active cytokine, the cytokine can bind its receptor and effect signaling.
