Background
IL-12 associates with IL-23α to form the heterodimeric cytokine IL-23. IL-23 is associated with various autoimmune inflammatory diseases, and is particularly highly expressed in psoriasis skin lesions. In addition, IL-23 is suspected to play a role in tumorigenesis. Briakinumab binds to and neutralizes human IL-12 and IL-23 (via their shared p40 subunit) and is being investigated for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and multiple sclerosis.
