Chemokine antibody

Wash the plate, add chemokine antibody solution, and incubate for 1 h. 

It might also be crucial to characterize whether an inhibitor prevents the interaction between GAGs and the target chemokine. Based on the protocol described in Section 2.3, we developed a BLI assay allowing to determine whether chemokine antibody complexes interact with FIS or not (Fig. 3). This format has also been successfully used with chemokine-binding proteins. Required materials...

A cascade of proteins of the immune response that can be triggered by antigen-antibody complexes and by the innate immune system (e.g. exposure to microbial polysaccharides) to raise the immune response. Complement proteins can detect and bind to foreign material or immune complexes and label them for phagocytosis. They can also cause inflammation by directly degranulating mast cells and releasing chemokines to recruit other immune cells into the affected area. 

Inhibition of inflammatory cytokines (Fig. 2) Humanized monoclonal anti-TNF antibodies (Infliximab (Remicade ), Adalimumab (Humira )) bind with high selectivity to human TNF-a and neutralize its activity. Thereby, infliximab decreases the effects of enhanced TNF levels during inflammatory disease such as production of proteases, chemokines, adhesion molecules, cyclooxygenase products (prostaglandins), and proinflammatory molecules such as interleukin-1 and -6. The antibodies may also recognize membrane-bound TNF-a on lymphocytes and other immune cells. These cells may subsequently become apoptotic or are eliminated via Fc-receptor-mediated phagocytosis.

Different approaches have been used to probe the role of chemokines and their receptors in experimental models of arthritis for instance, peptide antagonists or immunization of the host to promote the generation of endogenous neutralizing Abs via the use of chemokine plasmid DNA vaccination (Table 4 and Ref. 50), injection of neutralizing antibodies (Table 5), or mice that lack specific chemokine or chemokine receptors (Table 6).
