USE OF A POLYPEPTIDE HAVING THE ACTIVITY OF HUMAN INTERLEUKIN 2 FOR THE PREPARATION OF PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS FOR THE TREATMENT OF LEUKEMIA.

摘要

The invention relates to the use of a polypeptide having human interleukin-2 activity for preparing a pharmaceutical composition intended for the treatment of leukaemias. Polypeptide having human IL-2 activity is understood to mean natural human IL-2 or recombinant human IL-2, that is to say obtained by recombinant DNA technology. The leukaemias to which the invention relates comprise chronic myeloid or chronic lymphoid leukaemias and acute lymphoid or non-lymphoblastic leukaemias, for example myeloid leukaemias characterised in a general manner by the proliferation of blast cells.
