Binds to domain 4 of the common beta-chain and recognises the same binding site used by IL-5, GM-CSF and IL-3, or binds to an epitope in close proximity to it. Residues M363, R364, E366 (B-C loop) and R418 (F-G loop) in the common beta-chain are important

BION-1 has been shown the block eosinophil production, survival, and activation stimulated by IL-5 as well as by GM-CSF and IL-3, thereby influencing inflammation (Sun et al., 1999; PMID: 10477723). Further, BION-1 has been used in immunohistochemistry experiments in order to examine the presence of GM-CSF-receptor protein in human 8-cell embryos and blastocysts (Sjoblom et al., 2002; PMID: 12444058). In addition, a fab fragment derived from BION-1 has been used in the crystallisation of the common beta-chain to analyse the structure of the activation domain of the GM-CSF/IL-3/IL-5 receptor (Rossjohn et al., 2000; PMID: 10753826).
