>> There is no controversy about the side effects of IL-2. Apparently there are less side effects wih IL-2 if administered subcutaneously, than through IV. <<

I was collaborating with BioTherapeutics (now belly up) of Franklin/Memphis when the first patients were receiving Chiron's IL-2 there. Dosing was iv and experimental. I got to talk to one of the early "success story" patients who had a huge renal Ca that went undetectable. He was enthusiastic, but described a nightmare of side effects that terminated with a skin peel. Not fun...... brave patients.
