Humanization of Murine Monoclonal anti-hTNF Antibody: The F10 Story
2017
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a proinflammatory cytokine implicated in pathogenesis of multiple autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Anti-TNF therapy has revolutionized the therapeutic paradigms of autoimmune diseases and became one of the most successful examples of the clinical use of monoclonal antibodies. Currently, anti-TNF therapy is used by millions of patients worldwide. At the moment, fully human anti-TNF antibody Adalimumab is the best-selling anti-cytokine drug in the world. Here, we present a story about a highly potent anti-TNF monoclonal antibody initially characterized more than 20 years ago and further developed into chimeric and humanized versions. We present comparative analysis of this antibody with Infliximab and Adalimumab.
