ABOUT

Anti-human IFN alpha - Rontalizumab biosimilar - CAS #948570-30-7

Anti-hIFN-α-hIgG1 is a biosimilar research antibody to Rontalizumab. Rontalizumab (rhuMAb interferon-alpha) is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) targeting interferon alpha (IFN-α). It blocks the interaction of IFN-α with its receptor. Rontalizumab has been clinically evaluated as an immunosuppressive agent for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

More details More details

 

Anti-hIFN-α-hIgG1 comprises the variable region of Rontalizumab and a human IgG1 constant region with high effector functions.

This antibody can be used with HEK-Blue™ IFN-α/β cells for screening and neutralization assays to block recombinant human IFN-α-induced signaling(see figure).

Key features

  • Potent and specific neutralization activity against hIFN-α2
  • Reacts with hIFN-α1, hIFN-α2, hIFN-α5, hIFN-α8, hIFN-α14, hIFN-α16, hIFN-α17, and hIFN-α21
  • Weakly reacts with hIFN-α4 and IFN-α10
  • Does not react with hIFN-α6 or hIFN-α7
  • Each lot is functionally tested and validated.
  • The complete sequence of the antibody construct was verified.
  • The absence of endotoxins is determined using the EndotoxDetect™ assay.

Details

Rontalizumab background

Rontalizumab (aka rhuMAb interferon-alpha) is a therapeutic, humanized monoclonal antibody (mAb) that targets the human interferon-alpha (IFN-α) cytokine subtypes [1, 2]. By binding to IFN-α, Rontalizumab prevents it from interacting with its receptor (IFNAR) on the surface of immune cells, thus inhibiting the downstream inflammatory response. Rontalizumab has been clinically evaluated as an immunosuppressive agent for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) [1-3].
