What is Interleukin 2?

Interleukin 2 (IL-2) is a vital cytokine, a type of protein that acts as a messenger within the immune system. It plays a critical role in activating and regulating white blood cells, which are essential for fighting infections and diseases.

Why is this test important?

Measuring IL-2 levels can provide insights into various immune system disorders, autoimmune conditions, and certain cancers. It is also monitored in patients undergoing specific immunotherapies to gauge treatment effectiveness.

How to Prepare
