IL-6 neutralization antibody

An IL-6 neutralization antibody (or IL-6 neutralizing antibody) is a class of monoclonal antibodies designed to bind directly to interleukin-6 (IL-6) and neutralize its biological activity. IL-6 is a pleiotropic pro-inflammatory cytokine that plays a pivotal role in immune regulation, hematopoiesis, and inflammation. By binding to IL-6, these antibodies prevent it from interacting with the membrane-bound or soluble IL-6 receptor (IL-6R), thereby blocking the assembly of the IL-6/IL-6R/gp130 signaling complex and inhibiting downstream JAK/STAT and MAPK signaling pathways. This therapeutic approach is widely utilized to treat chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, multicentric Castleman disease, and cytokine release syndrome (CRS).
