Conversely, we show that cytokine adaptors can convert inflammatory cytokines into immunosuppressive signals. We show conversion of IL-23 or IL-17 into immunosuppressive IL-10 receptor agonists, with potential applications in autoimmune disease.

As proof of concept, we design cytokine adaptors that convert TGF-b or IL-10 into IL-2 receptor agonists to reverse T cell suppression, with potential applications in cancer therapy.
