hIL6/hIL6R

Fig1. The expression of human IL6 in liver tissue of humanized IL6/IL6R mice was measured by qPCR. The results showed that the active expression of humanized IL6 can be detected in liver tissue of homozygous humanized IL6/IL6R mice after LPS Activation. 

Fig2. Expression of human IL6 in the serum of humanized IL6/IL6R homozygous mice is detected by Elisa. The results showed that the expression of human IL6 can be detected in the serum collected from homozygous mice after LPS Activation.

LPS was dissolved in endotoxin-free water and administered as a local eye drop at a concentration of 10 μg/μL (5 μL per eye). To ensure uniform distribution of the eye drop, the mouse was restrained for 1 minute. Four hours later, the whole eyeball was collected and homogenized to extract RNA and protein to detect hIL6 and hIL6R expression. (HO: humanized IL6/IL6R homozygous mice; WT:  wild type C57BL/6 mice)

Fig6. Expression of human IL6R in the serum, liver and pancreas of HO hIL6/IL6R mice is detected by Elisa. 

The results showed that the expression of human IL6R can be detected in the serum, liver and pancreas collected from homozygous mice.

Note.  Splenocytes from C57BL/6 and homozygous IL-6/hIL-6R mice were stimulated with LPS in vitro.

In vivo efficacy of Sirukumab in Collagen induced Rheumatoid Arthritis (CIA) model in hIL6/hIL6R mice.

Fig.1 Efficacy of Sirukumab in hIL6/hIL6R mice in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model. 

Group 1 received no immunization. Group 2 were immunized to induce CIA. Group 3 were immunized to induce CIA and treated with Sirukumab. Body weight was monitored throughout the study and remained stable across all groups (A). After CIA induction, clinical score increase, indicating successful model establishment. Mice treated with Sirukumab exhibited reduction in arthritis severity as evidenced by decreased clinical scores (B). Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n=10-15).
