Bioactivity | Atacicept (TACI-Ig) is a is a recombinant fusion protein containing the extracellular, ligand-binding portion of the TACI receptor and the Fc portion of human IgG. Atacicept inhibits B cell stimulation by binding to B lymphocyte stimulator and a proliferation-inducing ligand. Atacicept can be used in research of B-cell autoimmune disease[1][2]. |
In Vivo | Atacicept (TACI-Ig; 100 μg; i.p.; three times of week for 14 days; BALB/c mice) reduces mature B-cell counts and serum antibody levels in normal mice[1].Atacicept (TACI-Ig) inhibits the progression of disease and autoantibody titers in a mouse model of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA)[1].
