Tocilizumab (Anti-Human IL6R, Humanized Antibody) (1-100 ng/mL; 24 hours, 48 hours) inhibits the cell proliferation (growth rate) in a dose-dependent manner, growth rate by HACM is reduced almost completely by 100 ng/mL tocilizumab.
Tocilizumab (Anti-Human IL6R, Humanized Antibody) (0.001-10,000 μg/ml; 2 days) inhibits Ba/F3-gp130-IL-6R cell proliferation stimulated with hIL-6 with an IC50 of 13.5 ng/ml.
Tocilizumab (Anti-Human IL6R, Humanized Antibody) (1 μM; 6 hours) reduces the phosphorylation of STAT3 in vitro consistent with in vivo SAS cells.
Tocilizumab (Anti-Human IL6R, Humanized Antibody) (1-5 μM; 24 hours) significantly reduces VEGF mRNA expression in SAS cells with serum-free medium.
