The present invention provides a fusion polypeptide comprising a first domain and a second domain, wherein the first domain comprises a polypeptide ligand which binds to a cell surface-associated antigen and the second domain comprises aglycosylated interferon α 2b (IFNα2b) having a sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 or SEQ ID NO: 2. The aglycosylated IFNα2b further comprises one or more amino acid substitutions or deletions which attenuate the activity of the aglycosylated IFNα2b.
