NCIt synonyms : Anti-TGFb SAR-439459; Anti-transforming Growth Factor-beta mAb SAR439459;
NCIt related terms : SAR-439459;
NCIt definition : A monoclonal antibody (mAb) directed against human transforming growth factor beta
(TGF-beta; TGFb), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, anti-TGF-beta
monoclonal antibody SAR-439459 specifically targets and binds to TGF-beta, thereby
preventing the activation of TGF-beta-mediated signaling pathways. This may inhibit
the proliferation of tumor cells in which TGF-beta is overactivated. TGF-beta, a pro-inflammatory
mediator that is mutated and/or overexpressed in a variety of cancer cell types, is
involved in cancer cell proliferation and migration, and in tumor progression.;
