Tocilizumab (Anti-IL-6R) Suppressed TNFα Production by Human Monocytes in an In Vitro Model of Anti-HLA Antibody-Induced Antibody-Dependent Cellular Cytotoxicity

BackgroundWe previously demonstrated that natural killer (NK) cells activated via FcγRIIIa (CD16) interactions with anti-HLA antibodies binding to peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in the in vitro antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) assay produced IFNγ. Here we investigate if ot
