Infliximab

Infliximab (Avakine) is a chimeric monoclonal IgG1 antibody that specifically binds to TNF-α. Infliximab prevents the interaction of TNF-α with TNF-α receptor (TNFR1 and TNFR2). Infliximab has the potential for autoimmune, chronic inflammatory diseases and diabetic neuropathy research^[1][2].
The component ratio of this product is Active ingredient : Excipients = 9 : 47. IC50 & Target:TNFSF2/TNFa In Vitro:TNF-α-treated adipocytes shows a significant 64% decrease in insulin-stimulated glucose uptake, whereas Infliximab (10 ng/mL) reverses TNF-α actions by significantly improving glucose incorporation in 3T3L1 adipocytes. Infliximab restores phosphorylation of substrate-2 and AKT by attenuating protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) activation. Infliximab ameliorates TNF-α-induced insulin resistance in 3T3L1 adipocytes in vitro by restoring the insulin signalling pathway via PTP1B inhibition^[1]. In Vivo:A single injection of Infliximab (10 μg/g in 100 μL saline/dose ip) in diabetic TNF-α^+/+) mice leads to suppression of the increased serum TNF-α and amelioration of the electrophysiological and biochemical deficits for at least 4 weeks. The increased TNF-α mRNA expression in diabetic dorsal root ganglion is also attenuated by Infliximab^[2].
