Interleukin-2 (IL-2) Overview
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a cytokine, a small protein that plays a pivotal role in the immune system by regulating the growth, activation, and differentiation of T-cells. It is produced primarily by activated CD4+ T-helper cells, although it can also be secreted by CD8+ T-cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and other immune cells. IL-2 is essential for the expansion and survival of T-cells during immune responses, particularly in response to infections or the presence of tumors. It promotes the activation and proliferation of both helper T-cells (which assist other immune cells) and cytotoxic T-cells (which directly kill infected or cancerous cells).
IL-2 also plays a critical role in the immune system’s self-regulation by promoting the differentiation of regulatory T-cells (Tregs), which help prevent autoimmune reactions and maintain immune tolerance. Due to its immune-enhancing properties, IL-2 has been utilized therapeutically in immunotherapy, especially in the treatment of certain cancers like melanoma and renal cell carcinoma. Despite challenges associated with high-dose IL-2 therapy, including severe toxicity and systemic inflammatory reactions, IL-2 remains a promising tool in cancer immunotherapy, with ongoing research aiming to refine its applications by minimizing adverse effects and maximizing its therapeutic potential in cancer, autoimmune diseases, and transplant rejection.
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) Market
The dynamics of the Interleukin-2 (IL-2) market are anticipated to change in the coming years owing to the expected launch of emerging therapies and others during the forecast period 2025-2034. The total Interleukin-2 (IL-2) market size in the 7MM was nearly USD 6 million in 2023 and is projected to grow during the forecast period (2024-2034). Overall, the Interleukin-2 (IL-2) market is further expected to increase in the forecast period (2024–2034), driven by a robust pipeline, precision medicine advancements, and rising cancer, autoimmune and inflammatory disease prevalence.
