Abstract

The present invention relates to mutant IL-2 polypeptides that act as receptor antagonists. The mutant IL-2 polypeptides bind CD 25 but do not activate the IL-2 receptor. Also provided are methods of using the mutant IL-2 polypeptides, for example, to treat a patient who has cancer or a viral infection. The mutant polypeptides can also be used in various delivery systems.
