Provided herein are human interferon alpha-2 (IFNA2) variants that have decreased or no detectable binding to the human interferon-alpha/beta receptor beta 2 (IFNAR2) as compared to the wild-type human IFNA2 polypeptide. Also provided herein are fusion proteins comprising an antibody or fragment thereof, and a human IFNA2 variant, wherein the IFNA2 variant is covalently linked to the antibody, and wherein the IFNA2 variant has decreased or no detectable binding to the human interferon-alpha/beta receptor beta (IFNAR2) as compared to the wild-type human IFNA2 polypeptide.

Interferon alpha-2 variants

The disclosure provides interleukin 21 (IL-21) variants that have (i) decreased or no binding to a human interleukin 21 receptor (IL-21R) as compared to a wild-type human IL-21 polypeptide; or (ii) increased stability as compared to a wild-type human IL-21 polypeptide; or (iii) decreased or no binding to a human interleukin 21 receptor (IL-21R) as compared to a wild-type human IL-21 polypeptide and increased stability as compared to a wild-type human IL-21 polypeptide. The disclosure also provides fusion proteins including an antibody or fragment thereof bound, e.g., covalently linked, to an IL-21 variant.
