Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a novel anti-human IL-23 receptor antibody. In detail, the novel anti-human IL-23 receptor antibody of the present invention is an anti-human IL-23 receptor with better activity and / or species cross-reactivity than existing anti-human IL-23 receptor antibodies antibody. Background technique
[0002] Interleukin-23 (also known as IL-23) is a cytokine produced by dendritic cells, etc. It is composed of 2 subunits (ie, p19 subunit unique to IL-23 and IL-12 also becomes its component The p40 subunit) is a heterodimeric cytokine (Non-Patent Document 1). IL-23 binds to IL-23 receptor (also referred to as IL-23R) to introduce signals into cells (Non-Patent Document 2). IL-23R is a heterodimeric receptor composed of the IL-23R subunit and the IL-12Rβ1 subunit which becomes a part of the IL-12 receptor. In addition, it is known that IL-12 receptor is a complex of IL-12Rβ1 subunit and IL-12Rβ2 subunit, and IL-23 does not bind to I...
