Description: This SHLR17 monoclonal antibody reacts with human interleukin (IL)-17F. IL-17F is a homodimeric, 34 kDa member of the IL-17 family, which includes IL-17(A), B, C, D, E (IL-25). Within this family, IL-17A and IL-17F are produced preferentially by T helper 17 (Th17) cells, with other members produced more widely. IL-17F and IL-17A have many overlapping functions, but knockout studies have shown each to have independent functions as well. In vitro cultured Th17 cells have been shown to express IL-17F and IL-17A homodimers and IL-17A/F heterodimers depending on the culture conditions and their differentiation state. A heterodimer of IL-17RA and IL-17RC has been shown to bind IL-17F, resulting in target cell-secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, as well as neutrophil recruitment.
This SHLR17 monoclonal antibody neutralizes the bioactivity of IL-17F homodimers without affecting IL-17A/F heterodimers.
