Formulation
This biosimilar antibody is aseptically packaged and formulated in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline (150 mM NaCl) PBS pH 7.2 - 7.4 with no carrier protein, potassium, calcium or preservatives added. Due to inherent biochemical properties of antibodies, certain products may be prone to precipitation over time. Precipitation may be removed by aseptic centrifugation and/or filtration.
State of Matter
Liquid
Product Preparation
Recombinant biosimilar antibodies are manufactured in an animal free facility using only in vitro protein free cell culture techniques and are purified by a multi-step process including the use of protein A or G to assure extremely low levels of endotoxins, leachable protein A or aggregates.
Storage and Handling
Functional grade biosimilar antibodies may be stored sterile as received at 2-8°C for up to one month. For longer term storage, aseptically aliquot in working volumes without diluting and store at -80°C. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles.

Description

Description

Specificity
Emapalumab activity is directed against human IFNγ.
Background
IFNγ plays roles in Th1 differentiation, macrophage function, leukocyte migration to sites of infection, and increasing major histocompatibility complex expression to improve T-cell recognition of infected or malignant cells 1. Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare but severe dysregulation of the immune system characterized by increased IFNγ production, macrophage and lymphocyte hyperactivity with tissue infiltration, hypersecretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines (CXCL9), hemophagocytosis, tissue damage, and multi-organ failure 2. IFNγ plays a central role in the pathophysiology of HLH, and blocking IFNγ leads to clinical improvement.

Emapalumab was developed by Novimmune and Swedish Orphan Biovitrum as an immunotherapeutic treatment for HLH 2. Emapalumab is a fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody that targets and binds to IFNγ with high affinity. Emapalumab neutralizes IFNγ activity and inhibits interaction with its receptor by acting as a non-competitive inhibitor binding to free IFNγ and IFNγ-Receptor-1(IFNγR1)-bound IFNγ. Emapalumab inhibits receptor dimerization and transduction of interferon-γ signaling, impairing the interaction induced by IFNγ at the cell surface with IFNγR1 and IFNγ R2 and thereby neutralizing IFNγ biologic activity 2,3,4. Emapalumab prevents recruitment of IFNγR2 but has no effect on IFNγR1 endocytosis and internalization into lysosomes 2,4. In HLH patients, emapalumab reduces the plasma concentrations of the cytokine CXCL9.

Emapalumab is composed of anti-(human IFNγ) human monoclonal NI-0501 heavy chain, disulfide with human monoclonal NI-0501 light chain, dimer 2. Emapalumab is produced by recombinant DNA technology and is approximately 148 kDa 5.
Antigen Distribution
IFNγ is produced by natural killer and natural killer T cells, T-helper 1 (Th1) CD4 + T cells, and CD8 + and cytotoxic T-lymphocytes.
