Human
Product Details
This biosimilar antibody uses the same variable regions as the therapeutic antibody Canakinumab, making it ideal for research use. Canakinumab is a fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody that reacts with human IL-1β a 17 kDa pro-inflammatory cytokine produced primarily by monocytes. IL-1β is an important mediator of the inflammatory response, and is involved in a variety of cellular activities, including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and T and B lymphocyte activation. IL-1 is made up of IL-1α and IL-1β which are the products of distinct genes, but which are recognized by two distinct IL-1 receptors. The IL-1 receptor type I, an 80 kDa transmembrane protein with demonstrated IL-1 signaling function and the IL-1 receptor type II, a 68 kDa membrane protein with a relatively short cytoplasmic tail. The type II receptor acts as a decoy target for IL-1, inhibiting IL-1 activities by preventing the binding of IL-1 to the type I receptor. Canakinumab binds to human IL-1β and neutralizes its inflammatory activity by blocking its interaction with IL-1 receptors, but it does not bind IL-1α or IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra).Specifications
