A mechanistically novel peptide agonist of the IL-7 receptor that addresses limitations of IL-7 cytokine therapy.
Interleukin (IL)-7 is broadly active on T-cell populations, and modified versions have been clinically evaluated for a variety of therapeutic applications, including cancer, lymphopenia, and infectious diseases; and found to be relatively well-tolerated and biologically active. Here we describe nove...
