Antibody drugs targeting single inflammatory cytokines have revolutionized the treatment of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. To investigate whether dual targeting interleukin-17 (IL-17) and IL-36 enhances anti-inflammatory activity, bispecific Ab HB0043 was generated by linking the single chain fragment variables (scFvs) from humanized anti-IL-36R antibody (HB0034) to the C-terminus of the heavy chain of anti-IL-17A IgG1 (HB0017) Fc using a flexible peptide linker. HB0043 largely maintained the binding affinities and biological activities of the two parent monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) .

Human thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine located at the top of inflammatory cascade that makes it a promising therapeutic target in allergic asthma. The cell surface receptor of TSLP is a heterodimer consisting of a TSLP receptor (TSLPR) and an interleukin-17 receptor α (IL-7Rα). The TSLPR subunit should be first added to the free TSLP to form a TSLPR/TSLP pre-complex, which further recruits the IL-7Rα subunit to obtain the final TSLPR/IL-7Rα/TSLP complex.

Background: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a debilitating psychological disorder that also presents with neuroimmune irregularities. Patients display elevated sympathetic tone and are at an increased risk of developing secondary autoimmune diseases. Previously, using a mouse model of repeated social defeat stress (RSDS) that recapitulates certain features of PTSD, we demonstrated that elimination of sympathetic signaling to T-lymphocytes specifically limited their ability to produce pro-inflammatory interleukin 17A (IL-17A); a cytokine implicated in the development of many autoimmune disorders.

a prevalent gut commensal fungus in healthy individuals - contributes to intestinal health and disease. However, how commensal influences intestinal homeostasis and barrier function is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrated that the reference strain of (MYA-3404) ameliorated intestinal inflammation in murine models of chemically induced colitis and bacterial infection.

Circulating immune cells contribute to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but their role is poorly understood. Rosenzweig et al. recently identified a subset of interleukin (IL)-17 neutrophils that inhibit neuroprotective microglia in female APOE4 carriers.
