In Vitro | Tremelimumab (Ticilimumab) has a higher affinity for CTLA-4-Ig than for CD28-Ig and that the antibody is specific for cynomolgus monkeys and humans[1]. Tremelimumab does not bind to human leukocyte FcγR and does not trigger the release of cytokines avoiding the cytokine release syndrome, but increases the IL-2 production upon stimulation with the staphylococcal enterotoxin A in a concentration-dependent manner[1]. Tremelimumab enhances the IL-2 production in T-cells[1]. |
