ABOUT

Anti-human IL-9 - Enokizumab biosimilar - CAS #909875-08-7

Anti-hIL-9-hIgG1 is a biosimilar antibody of Enokizumab, a human interleukin 9 (IL-9) antibody that inhibits IL-9 signaling. This monoclonal antibody (mAb) is currently under investigation for the treatment of asthma, atopic dermatitis, and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).

More details More details

 

Anti-hIL-9-hIgG1 comprises the variable region of Enokizumab and the IgG1 constant region of Enokizumab for high effector functions. 

This mAb can be used together with HEK-Blue™ IL-9 cells for screening and neutralization assays to inhibit IL-9 signaling induced by recombinant human IL-9 (see figure).

Details

Enokizumab and IL-9 background

Enokizumab (MEDI-528) is a humanized monoclonal antibody (mAb) designed to target interleukin 9 (IL-9) and block the IL-9 signaling [1]. 

IL-9 is a cytokine produced by a wide variety of cells including mast cells, natural killer T (NKT) cells, Th2, Th17, Treg, and Th9 cells. Th9 cells are considered to be the main CD4+ T cells that produce IL-9.  To date, its main role has been found in the immune responses against allergic diseases such as asthma and bronchial hyperreactivity. IL-9 promotes the survival, proliferation, and activation of mast cells and other immune cells, which are central to the development of allergic reactions and inflammatory diseases [2].

Enokizumab is currently being investigated for its potential therapeutic applications in various inflammatory and allergic diseases, with a particular focus on asthma, atopic dermatitis, and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). In asthma treatment, it has shown promise in patients with a specific IL-9-driven inflammatory profile [2-3]. Asthma, particularly in severe forms, is characterized by airway inflammation and hyperreactivity, often triggered by immune cells and cytokines like IL-9 [2-3]. However, despite the encouraging data from some trials, regulatory approval for the drug is still pending.
