Monoclonal antibodies targeting Domain 1 or Domain3 of the IL-33 receptor ST2L differentially affect signaling complex formation.
The anti-ST2L antibodies differentially affect gene expression and cytokine release by mast cells as compared to basophils.
Blocking the first step in the formation of the ST2L signaling complex with an anti-ST2L Domain 1 mAb resulted in complete inhibition.
Partial inhibition of the pathway as well as aberrant signaling was observed in mast cells treated with an anti-ST2L Domain 3 mAb.
