| Bioactivity | Anifrolumab is a type I interferon (IFN) receptor antagonist, a human monoclonal antibody. Anifrolumab blocks the activity of type I interferon. Anifrolumab can be used in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) research[1][2]. |
| Invitro | Anifrolumab (67.7 nM; 20 min) induces sustained reduction of surface IFNAR1 and abrogates STAT1 phosphorylation[2].Anifrolumab (1 and 10 μg/mL; 6 or 7 d) suppresses differentiation of B cells into plasma cells[2].Anifrolumab inhibits type I IFN-induced ISRE signaling, with IC50s ranging from 0.004 to 0.3 nM for the IFN-α subtypes, and 0.03 nM and 0.07 nM for IFN-β and IFN-ω, respectively[2].Anifrolumab (67.7 nM) dose-dependently inhibits IFN-α production from pDCs in response to CpG-A or DNA-IC stimulation, inhibiting 87-95% of IFN-α production[2].
