Here, we present the crystal structure of canine IL-31 (cIL-31) in complex with a neutralizing caninized monoclonal antibody (2D10-2). This antibody competitively inhibited cIL-31 binding to canine OSMRbeta (cOSMRbeta) but not to canine IL-31RA (cIL-31RA). Moreover, it effectively blocked cIL-31-induced STAT5 phosphorylation in vitro and alleviated cIL-31-induced pruritus in beagle dogs. Structural analysis identified key antibody-binding residues in alpha-helical A, alpha-helical D, and the AB loop of cIL-31. Systematic mutagenesis based on the complex structure further defined the conformational epitopes of cIL-31 recognized by cOSMRbeta. In summary, this study reports the IL-31 structure, revealing a four-alpha-helical bundle cytokine, and elucidates 2D10-2's neutralizing mechanism by targeting the cIL-31-cOSMRbeta interaction. These findings advance our understanding of IL-31 and offer insights for developing IL-31-targeted therapeutics.
