NCIt definition : A humanized immunoglobulin (Ig) G4 monoclonal antibody directed against toll-like
receptor type 2 (TLR2), with potential anti-inflammatory and antineoplastic activities.
Upon intravenous administration, tomaralimab binds to the ligand-binding site on the
TLR2 receptor and blocks the activation of TLR2-mediated innate immunity signaling.
This prevents the TLR2-mediated production of pro-inflammatory mediators and prevents
inflammation. TLR2, a member of the TLR family primarily found on leukocytes, plays
a key role in the activation of innate immunity; it is overexpressed in various inflammatory
diseases and in certain types of cancer.;
