An engineered IL-2 reprogrammed for anti-tumor therapy using a semi-synthetic organism

The use of synthetic organisms could provide opportunities for discovery and advanced manufacturing of medical drugs. Here the authors use a semi-synthetic organism with an expanded genetic code to generate site-specific chemical modifications in human IL-2.
