Abstrakt: Purpose: The study aimed to develop and characterize Indikizumab, a novel humanized anti-IL-17A monoclonal antibody (mAb), for potential therapeutic use in inflammatory indications such as psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Methods: The research involved the purification of IL-17 isoforms, epitope mapping, affinity ranking, and comparative binding assessment of anti-IL-17 antibodies. The study also included cell-based neutralization assays and in vivo studies using mouse models to evaluate the efficacy of Indikizumab. Results: Indikizumab demonstrated a high binding affinity (KD=27.2 pM) and specificity for IL-17A, with comparable potency to Secukinumab. In cell-based neutralization assays, Indikizumab effectively neutralized the effects of IL-17A and demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in plasma KC (Keratinocyte) levels in a mouse model. In imiquimod-induced psoriasis mouse model, Indikizumab showed potential in reducing the psoriasis index. Conclusion: Indikizumab represents a promising therapeutic option for inflammatory indications with its high binding affinity, specificity for IL-17A, and effectiveness in neutralizing IL-17A effects in vivo.
