AHP455B is specific for human IL-17 (Interleukin-17/17A), a 32kDa disulfide-linked homodimer consisting of two 136 amino acid chains, which belongs to the IL-17 family, and signals through the IL-17 receptor (IL-17R/CDw217).
IL-17 is produced primarily by activated CD4+ T cells and induces a variety of target cells to secrete inflammatory cytokines, including IL-1beta, IL-6, TNFalpha, IFNgamma and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, as well as synergizing with other inflammatory cytokines and agonists. The role of IL-17 in bone metabolism has become a focus area for studies into Rheumatoid Arthritis, in which levels of IL-17 are significantly increased and may to contribute to bone destruction.
