Abstract
Shipping fever, and other stress-related diseases in livestock, are treated by administration of a microencapsulated composition comprising IL-2 conjugated with a polyoxyethylene polymer, and mixed with a release-modulating amount of humen serum albumin. The microcapsules are administered parenterally, and release an effective amount of conjugated IL-2 continuously over a period of 14-30 days. These microcapsules are also effective in the treatment of cancer in mammals.
