Background
The 17B7 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to mouse and rat IL-17A, a pro-inflammatory cytokine. It is produced by T helper 17 (Th17) cells, a unique subset of IL-23 dependent CD4+ T cells. Interleukin-17A is highly expressed in transplant rejection, asthma, psoriasis, and multiple sclerosis, and enhances the expression of ICAM-1 in human fibroblasts. The homodimer is expressed by activated peripheral CD4+ T lymphocytes. The Interleukin-17A binds to the IL-17 receptors (IL-17R) expressed by mast cells, monocytes and macrophages, fibroblasts, and endothelial and epithelial cells.
