one of a group of related proteins made by leukocytes (white blood cells) and other cells in the body. interleukin-2 is made by a type of t lymphocyte. it increases the growth and activity of other t lymphocytes and b lymphocytes, and affects the development of the immune system. aldesleukin (interleukin-2 made in the laboratory) is being used as a biological response modifier to boost the immune system in cancer therapy. interleukin-2 is a type of cytokine. also called il-2.

Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is an interleukin, a type of cytokine immune system signaling molecule, which is a leukocytotrophic hormone that is instrumental in the body's natural response to microbial infection and in discriminating between foreign (non-self) and self. IL-2 mediates its effects by binding to IL-2 receptors, which are expressed by lymphocytes, the cells that are responsible for immunity.
