NCIt definition : A recombinant DNA-derived humanized monoclonal antibody directed against the cell
surface glycoprotein, CD52. Alemtuzumab is an IgG1 kappa with human variable framework
and constant regions, and complementarity-determining regions derived from a rat monoclonal
antibody. This agent selectively binds to CD52, thereby triggering a host immune response
that results in lysis of CD52 cells. CD52 is a glycoprotein expressed on the surface
of essentially all normal and malignant B and T cells, a majority of monocytes, macrophages
and natural killer (NK) cells, a subpopulation of granulocytes, and tissues of the
male reproductive system. (NCI04);
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A type of monoclonal antibody used in the treatment of leukemia. Monoclonal
antibodies are laboratory-produced substances that can locate and bind to cancer cells.;
