Crovalimab (SKY59; RO7112689) is a novel humanized antibody against C5 in a pH-dependent manner with KDs of 15.2 nM and 16.8 μM at pH 7.4 and 5.8, respectively. Crovalimab binds human FcRn with great affinity (KD: 17 μM at pH 6.0). Crovalimab can block cleavage of C5 by the C5 convertase and inhibite the activity of a C5 variant (p.Arg885His). Crovalimab inhibits C5b-9 formation significantly in all three complement pathways, the classical pathway (CP), lectin pathway (LP), and alternative pathway (AP). Crovalimab has the potential for paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and complement-mediated diseases research.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
