Given its pivotal role in immune function, IL-2 has potential therapeutic applications. However, its use in neonates is complex due to their unique immune system characteristics. Potential therapeutic approaches involving IL-2 include:
Boosting the immune response in immunocompromised neonates. Modulating immune responses in conditions like neonatal sepsis or autoimmune disorders.
Clinical trials and further research are necessary to understand the safety and efficacy of IL-2-based therapies in neonates.
