GlossaryInterleukin-2

regulates immune system by promoting T cell growth

Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a type of protein called a cytokine that plays a crucial role in the immune system. It helps regulate the activities of white blood cells, which are essential for fighting infections and diseases. IL-2 is particularly important for the growth, proliferation, and survival of T cells, a type of white blood cell that is vital for the body's immune response.
