This product is a recombinant humanized antibody to human IL6R. It was humanized from a original murine antibody and retains its specificity for natural and recombinant human IL-6R. The antibody cross reacts with cynomolgus IL-6R but not with that of murine. The antibody is an interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor antagonist and prevents IL-6 from interacting with its receptors. This inhibition helps to reduce the inflammatory signaling that can lead to tissue damage and various inflammatory diseases.
Figure 1 The inhibitory profile of tocilizumab is independent of IL-6R expression.
A , equal numbers of Ba/F3-gp130 cells were cultured for 2 days with 10 ng/ml Hyper-IL-6, 10 ng/ml human, or 10 ng/ml murine IL-6. As a control, Ba/F3-gp130 cells were cultured without any cytokine. B , equal numbers of Ba/F3-gp130, Ba/F3-gp130-hIL-6R, or Ba/F3-gp130-mIL-6R cells were cultured for 2 days with 10 ng/ml human IL-6 and increasing concentrations of the anti-human-IL-6R antibody tocilizumab (0.001–10,000 g/ml). C , equal numbers of Ba/F3-gp130 or Ba/F3-gp130-hIL-6R cells were cultured for 2 days with 10 ng/ml hIL-6 plus increasing concentrations of shIL-6R as indicated. D , equal numbers of Ba/F3-gp130, Ba/F3-gp130-hIL-6R, or Ba/F3-gp130-mIL-6R cells were cultured for 2 days with 10 ng/ml human IL-6 plus 200 ng/ml shIL-6R and increasing concentrations of the anti-human-IL-6R antibody tocilizumab (0.001– 10,000 ug/ml). Statistical analysis was carried out using a paired Student's t test, and statistical significance was p< 0.01 (**). The proliferation measured with the lowest inhibitor concentration was about the same as without inhibitor.
