Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a critical regulator of the immune system and has been widely implicated in autoimmune disease. Here, we describe the discovery and characterization of olokizumab, a humanized antibody to IL-6. Data from structural biology, cell biology and primate pharmacology demonstrate the therapeutic potential of targeting IL-6 at "Site 3", blocking the interaction with the signaling co-receptor gp130.
白细胞介素-6(IL-6)是免疫系统的关键调节因子,在自身免疫性疾病中具有广泛影响。在此,我们描述了olokizumab(一种抗IL-6的人源化抗体)的发现及特性。来自结构生物学、细胞生物学和灵长类动物药理学的数据证明了在“位点3”靶向IL-6、阻断其与信号共受体gp130相互作用的治疗潜力。
