About InVivoSIM anti-human IL-17A (Secukinumab Biosimilar)
This non-therapeutic biosimilar antibody uses the same variable regions from the therapeutic antibody Secukinumab making it ideal for research use. This Secukinumab biosimilar reacts with human IL-17A, a 15-20 kDa cytokine expressed by Th17 cells, γδ T cells, iNKT cells, NK cells, LTi cells, neutrophils, and intestinal Paneth cells. IL-17A has pleiotropic effects in immunoregulation and inflammation. It plays an important role in anti-microbial and chronic inflammation by inducing cytokine and chemokine production, neutrophil influx, and the production of antibacterial peptides but it is also an inflammatory mediator in the development of autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, multiple sclerosis, and psoriasis. Secukinumab neutralizes IL-17A.
