    摘要: The invention relates to variants of interleukin-2 (IL2). In one embodiment, the IL2 variants activate effector T cells over regulatory T cells. In particular, the invention relates to a polypeptide comprising a mutein of human IL2 or of a functional variant of human IL2, wherein the human IL2 or functional variant thereof is substituted at at least a position having an acidic or basic amino acid residue in wild type human IL2 that contacts the alpha subunit of the αβγ IL2 receptor complex (I12Kαβγ). Alternatively, the mutein of human IL2 or of a functional variant of human IL2 comprises at least (i) one or more amino acid substitutions which reduce the affinity for the alpha subunit of II_2Kαβγ and (ii) one or more amino acid substitutions which enhance the affinity for II_2Kβγ. The invention also relates to polynucleotides coding for the polypeptides of the invention, host cells comprising the polynucleotides, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the polypeptides, polynucleotides or host cells, therapeutic or prophylactic methods of treatment using the polypeptides, polynucleotides, host cells or pharmaceutical compositions and medical preparations comprising the polypeptides, polynucleotides, host cells or pharmaceutical compositions.
