Sirukumab ELISA Kit

Sirukumab ELISA Kit is a quantitative ELISA kit for detection of Sirukumab.

Sirukumab (developmental code name CNTO-136) is a human monoclonal antibody (mAb) designed for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It acts against the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL) -6 (IL-6). Sirukumab was evaluated in five Phase 3 studies of patients with RA. In September 2016, Janssen submitted a biologics license application (BLA) seeking approval of sirukumab for the treatment of moderately to severely active RA, but they announced in September 2017 that they received a complete response letter from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) indicating additional clinical data were needed to further evaluate the safety of sirukumab in that patient population. Janssen subsequently decided not to pursue global approvals of sirukumab for the treatment of moderately to severely active RA. Sirukumab was being evaluated in a Phase 3 study (NCT02531633) of another inflammatory disease, giant cell arteritis. This study, sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), was terminated in November 2017 due to GSK’s decision to return rights to sirukumab to Janssen and discontinue sirukumab development in giant cell arteritis. Also, in November 2017, a Phase 3 study (NCT02899026) sponsored by GSK of sirukumab in patients with polymyalgia rheumatica, an inflammatory disorder that causes muscle pain and stiffness, was withdrawn prior to enrollment.

Target	Sirukumab
Reactivity	Human
Tested Applications	ELISA
Recommended dilutions	Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
Storage	Shipped at 4 °C. Upon receipt, store the kit according to the storage instruction in the kit's manual.
Validity	The validity for this kit is 6 months.
Stability	The stability of the kit is determined by the rate of activity loss. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage conditions. To minimize performance fluctuations, operation procedures and lab conditions should be strictly controlled. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same user throughout.

Note	This product is for research use only. The range and sensitivity is subject to change. Please contact us for the latest product information. For accurate results, sample concentrations must be diluted to mid-range of the kit. If you require a specific range, please contact us in advance or write your request in your order comments. Please note that our ELISA and CLIA kits are optimised for detection of native samples, rather than recombinant proteins. We are unable to guarantee detection of recombinant proteins, as they may have different sequences or tertiary structures to the native protein.
