Abstract
Binding members, especially antibody molecules that bind the IL-6:IL-6Ra complex formed by IL-6 and IL-6Ra, and do not bind either IL-6 or IL-6Ra alone. The binding members may have greater specificity for inhibiting pathological effects of IL-6 rather than beneficial effects of IL-6, as compared with binding members that bind IL-6 or IL-6Ra outside the IL-6:IL-6Ra complex.
