Vobarilizumab (ALX-0061) is an anti-IL-6R monoclonal antibody (mAb) (Kd: 0.19 pM). Vobarilizumab consists of an anti-IL-6R domain and an anti-human serum albumin domain. Vobarilizumab can be used in the research of inflammatory autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis[1][2][3].
Vobarilizumab shows a preferential binding affinity for sIL-6R compared with mIL-6R[2].
Vobarilizumab (0-10 nM) blocks the interaction of recombinant hIL-6 to recombinant hsIL-6R[3].
Vobarilizumab (0-100 nM) blocks proliferation of the TF-1 cells[3].
Vobarilizumab (0.4-10 mg/kg, i.v.) inhibits hIL-6-induced inflammation in cynomolgus monkey[3].
Vobarilizumab (0.4-10 mg/kg, i.v.) shows a prolonged exposure through binding to serum albumin in cynomolgus monkeys[3].
