InVivoSIM anti-human IL-6R (Tocilizumab Biosimilar)
Clone
Tocilizumab
Reactivities
Human
Isotype
Human IgG1
Product Description
This non-therapeutic biosimilar antibody uses the same variable regions from the therapeutic antibody Tocilizumab making it ideal for research use. This Tocilizumab biosimilar reacts with human IL-6 receptor also known as CD126. IL-6R is an 80 kDa type I cytokine receptor and a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. IL-6R is expressed by activated T and B lymphocytes, monocytes, hepatocytes, and plasma cells. The IL-6 receptor α chain binds IL-6 but requires association with gp130 to initiate signal transduction. Upon IL-6 binding the IL-6R complex influences antigen-specific immune responses, inflammatory responses, neuronal development, and is a major mediator of the acute phase reaction. Tocilizumab binds to both soluble and membrane bound IL-6R and blocks the binding of IL-6 to IL-6R.
