    Interleukin-2 (IL-2) based immunotherapy has been approved for treating certain types of cancer, as IL-2 plays a crucial role in regulating the immune system. In this study, we developed a method for predicting IL-2-inducing peptides. Our method was trained, tested, and validated on a main dataset containing 6,574 experimentally validated Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) binders, including 3,429 IL-2-inducing and 3,145 non-inducing peptides. A primary analysis of IL-2 inducing and non-inducing peptides revealed that certain residues, such as alanine and leucine, are more abundant in IL-2-inducing peptides. Initially, we developed alignment-based methods, which demonstrated high precision but limited coverage. Subsequently, we developed artificial intelligence-based models, including machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), and large language models (LLM), to predict IL-2-inducing peptides. Our Extra Tree-based model, developed using dipeptide composition and peptide length, achieved a maximum AUC of 0.82. Finally, we constructed ensemble models that combined artificial intelligence and alignment-based methods. Our best ensemble model, which integrates the Extra Tree-based model with MERCI, achieved the highest AUC of 0.84 and an MCC of 0.51 on the main dataset. One limitation of the main dataset is that both IL-2-inducing and non-inducing peptides are MHC binders. To address this limitation, we created two additional datasets: Alternate Dataset 1, consisting of 3,429 IL-2-inducing peptides and 3,429 non-inducing peptides (MHC non-binders), and Alternate Dataset 2, consisting of 3,429 IL-2-inducing peptides and 3,439 non-inducing peptides (MHC binders + MHC non-binders). Our best ensemble model achieved AUCs of 0.9 and 0.8 with MCCs of 0.61 and 0.44 on Alternate Datasets 1 and 2, respectively. To assist the scientific community, we have integrated the best models from this study into a standalone software and web server, IL2pred, which enables users to predict, scan, and design IL-2-inducing peptides ( https://webs.iiitd.edu.in/raghava/il2pred/ ).
