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.

Short Description

This chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Human IgG1 format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
