NCIt definition : A fully humanized monoclonal IgG1 anti-serum amyloid P component (SAP) antibody, with
potential anti-amyloid activity. Upon intravenous administration, dezamizumab binds
to SAP in amyloid deposits, thereby activating compliment and triggering the rapid
clearance of amyloid by macrophage-derived multinucleated giant cells. SAP is a universal
component of amyloid deposits and contributes to the pathogenesis of amyloidosis.;
