“After decades of research into the potential of cytokines to elicit antitumor immune responses, checkpoint inhibition appears to have made room for a new coming of age for cytokine therapy. It’s exciting to see the development of new technologies that can more precisely leverage the power and beauty of cytokine biology in this new era of cancer immunotherapy.”

“Cytokines are immunomodulatory proteins that have been considered for pharmaceutical applications in the treatment of cancer patients and other types of disease. There is a growing interest in the use of engineered cytokine products as anticancer drugs, capable of boosting the action of T cells and natural killer (NK) cells against tumors, alone or in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors.”
