Bioactivity | Benralizumab (MEDI-563) is an interleukin-5 receptor α (IL-5Rα)-directed cytolytic monoclonal antibody that induces direct, rapid and nearly complete depletion of eosinophils via enhanced antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Benralizumab can be used for severe eosinophilic asthma[1]. |
Invitro | Benralizumab (MEDI-563) binds to recombinant human and cynomolgus monkey IL-5Rα extracellular domains with a dissociation constant of 11 and 42 pM, respectively[2].Benralizumab (1 pM-100 nM, 48 h) inhibits IL-5–induced proliferation of CTLL-2 cells transfected with recombinant human IL-5Rαβ with an IC50 of 0.3 nM[2].Benralizumab binds only to the constructs containing human IL-5Rα D1[2].Benralizumab mediates ADCC (antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity) of human eosinophils and basophils with EC50s of 0.9 pM and 0.5 pM, respectively, and mediates eosinophil apoptosis[2].
