<span>Both Mepolizumab and reslizumab bind to interleukin-5 (IL-5), a key cytokine responsible for the differentiation, maturation, and activation of human eosinophils. Both antibodies bind to IL-5 and prevents binding to the interleukin 5 receptor alpha subunit, on the surface of eosinophil white blood cells. When these antibodies bind to IL-5, they stimulates B cell growth and increases immunoglobulin secretion, and this reduces the survival of eosinophils. Eosinophils, along with basophils and mast cells, are important mediators of allergic responses and severe asthmas.</span>

Interleukin-5 (IL-5). IL-5 is responsible for the recruitment and maturation of eosinophil. Eosinophils on the other hand are majorly involved in the inflammatory response in asthma- characterised by narrowing of the airways. Mepolizumab and reslizumab are, therefore, anti-IL-5

svp [43]
Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas that may be caused by years of heavy consumption of alcohol of gall stones. The pancreas plays major important roles such as secreting digestive juices into the small intestines, which help to digest fats, proteins, and the carbohydrates in food. It also release hormones insulin and glucagon that regulate the blood sugar. Pancreatitis is characterized by a pancreas being inflamed, therefore when this happens the body's normal complex coordination is disrupted and the enzymes in the pancreas are prematurely activated before they exit the organ, which results in these enzymes digesting the pancreatic tissue.
