摘要： The present invention is in the field of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and relates to human interleukin-2 (IL-2) for use in the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in a human subject, wherein each dose of human IL-2 administered to said subject is between 0.1×106 to 3×106 international units (IU) Human IL-2 is preferably administered in cycles of 3 to 7 days of once-daily sub-cutaneous injection of 0.1×106 to 3×106 HI human IL-2. The treatment does not comprise the administration of regulatory T cells to the subject, who is preferably also under riluzole treatment. The administered human IL-2 is preferably not complexed with anti-hIL-2 antibodies and the treatment also preferably does not comprise the administration of rapamycin or any other suppressive agent of effector T cells (Teffs) to the subject. The treatment permits to decrease plasma CCL2 concentration and to change the polarization of blood macrophages from an M1 inflammatory phenotype to an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype involved in tissue repair.
