title: Interleukin 2 (IL2) in the management of acute myeloid leukemia: clinical and biological findings.
abstract: In this paper we review some of the preclinical findings which have led us to believe that immunotherapy with interleukin 2 (IL2)/lymphokine activated killer (LAK) cells may be a feasible approach in the management of acute myeloid leukemia. The main clinical and biological results so far obtained with IL2 treatment, and the currently ongoing protocols and strategies are discussed.
