Tocilizumab Recombinant Human Monoclonal Antibody (rhPM-1 (Tocilizumab)), Invitrogen™

Human Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody

Brand:  Invitrogen MA548061

Product Code. 17921501

Description

Specificity: Tocilizumab binds specifically to both the membrane bound and soluble forms of human IL-6R. The IL6 receptor is a protein complex consisting of an IL-6 receptor subunit (IL6R) and interleukin 6 signal transducer Glycoprotein 130. Interleukin 6 (IL6) is a potent pleiotropic cytokine that regulates cell growth and differentiation and plays an important role in immune response.

Tocilizumab (Actemra) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that is developed by Hoffmann-La Roche and Chugai for the treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis, a severe form of arthritis in children. Tocilizumab binds to the interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6R) and blocks its interaction with interleukin 6 (IL-6), hindering IL-6 from exerting its pro-inflammatory effects.
