Application Notes

This antibody has been shown to able to both block LTα-mediated signaling and selectively deplete LTα-expressing activated T and B cells, which has therapeutic applications in abrogating proinflammatory responses in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathology (Kennedy, 2014). Preliminary clinical trials demonstrated that administration of this antibody decreased serum levels of CXCL13, a biomarker of RA disease activity (Emu, 2012). In a phase II trial, this antibody had a trend for clinical effects on the symptoms of RA after 3 months of treatment, but the differences from placebo responses were not statistically significant (Kennedy, 2014). In a human peripheral blood mononuclear cell transplanted SCID mouse model of graft-versus-host disease, this antibody specifically depleted activated LTα-expressing human donor T and B cells, prolonging survival of the mice (Chiang, 2012). Finally, this antibody has been used to in FC and surface plasmon resonance analysis to characterise its interaction with the LTα ligand.
