Pharmacokinetic study of anti-interleukin-6 (IL-6) therapy with monoclonal antibodies: enhancement of IL-6 clearance by cocktails of anti-IL-6 antibodies.
The use of inhibiting cytokine-binding-proteins (CBPs) such as soluble cytokine receptors and anticytokine antibodies is considered for the treatment of cytokine-dependent diseases. The pleiotropic cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a target for immunointervention in numerous pathologic situations, including multiple myeloma, B-cell lymphoma, and rheumatoid arthritis. An antitumor response was ob...
متن کاملNeutralization effects of interleukin-6 (IL-6) antibodies on sulfur mustard (HD)-induced IL-6 secretion on human epidermal keratinocytes.
The proinflammatory cytokine human interleukin-6 (hIL-6) plays an important role in the early and late courses of inflammation, trauma, and wound healing caused by sulfur mustard (HD). Previously, we demonstrated that hIL-6 might be involved in the early event of structural changes of the signal transducer glycoprotein, which indirectly initiates the cascade of events, such as skin irritation a...
متن کاملMeasurement of whole body interleukin-6 (IL-6) production: prediction of the efficacy of anti-IL-6 treatments.
A major limitation on the therapeutic use of cytokine antagonists is that the amount of cytokine to be neutralized in vivo is not presently known. We previously reported that anti-interleukin-6 (IL-6) monoclonal antibody (MoAb) administered to a patient with multiple myeloma (MM) induced high amounts of IL-6 to circulate in the form of monomeric immune complexes. Based on this observation, the ...
متن کاملInterleukin-6 (IL-6) production by astrocytes: autocrine regulation by IL-6 and the soluble IL-6 receptor.
In the CNS, astrocytes are a major inducible source of interleukin-6 (IL-6). Although IL-6 has beneficial effects in the CNS because of its neurotrophic properties, its overexpression is generally detrimental, adding to the pathophysiology associated with CNS disorders. Many factors have been shown to induce IL-6 expression by astrocytes, particularly the cytokines tumor necrosis factor-alpha (...
متن کاملStructural Mimicry of Receptor Interaction by Antagonistic Interleukin-6 (IL-6) Antibodies*
Interleukin 6 plays a key role in mediating inflammatory reactions in autoimmune diseases and cancer, where it is also involved in metastasis and tissue invasion. Neutralizing antibodies against IL-6 and its receptor have been approved for therapeutic intervention or are in advanced stages of clinical development. Here we describe the crystal structures of the complexes of IL-6 with two Fabs de...
