Background
SB-240563 Mepolizumab is a fully humanized recombinant IgG1 kappa monoclonal antibody directed against IL-5 produced in Chinese hamster ovary cells. (EGPA) and eosinophilia syndrome (HES). The pathogenesis of eosinophils is complex, but IL-5 is considered a key eosinophilic factor, involved in the differentiation, recruitment, activation and prolonged survival of eosinophils in peripheral tissues. Activated eosinophils further stimulate the inflammatory response, and also induce tissue damage and promote fibrosis, all of which contribute to the multifactorial symptoms of eosinophilic disease. Mepolizumab is used to treat severe asthma.
