TEZSPIRE® (tezepelumab) Mechanism of Action

  • Mechanism of Action: How does it work?
  • Quick Links

TEZSPIRE® is the first & only anti-TSLP mAb.*

TEZSPIRE® (tezepelumab)
Mechanism of Action: How does it work?

Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP)

The mechanism of action of TEZSPIRE® in asthma has not been definitively established.1

TEZSPIRE® is a human monoclonal antibody that binds to thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) and inhibits its interaction with the heterodimeric TSLP receptor. TSLP is an epithelial cytokine that occupies an upstream position at the top of the asthma inflammatory cascade. Due to its upstream position, TSLP is involved in a broad spectrum of airway inflammation processes.1

Inhibiting the biological activity of TSLP with TEZSPIRE® decreases a broad spectrum of downstream biomarkers and cytokines involved in inflammation (e.g., blood eosinophils, IgE, FeNO, IL-5, and IL-13).1
