Six patients, 3 with hypernephroma and 3 with melanoma, were treated with interleukin-2. Drug toxicity consisted of capillary leakage syndrome in one case and reversible renal impairment in another. One patient showed an objective response; transient subjective improvement was observed in all patients.
