NCIt definition : A humanized recombinant monoclonal antibody directed against CD33, a cell surface
antigen found on myeloid leukemia blasts and early hematopoietic progenitor cells.
Lintuzumab stimulates antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) against
tumor cells expressing CD33, resulting in a decrease in tumor burden. The humanized
version of this monoclonal antibody exhibits less immunogenicity and improved binding
affinity compared to its murine counterpart.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A substance being studied in the treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes
and some types of leukemia. It binds to CD33, a protein on the surface of certain
normal blood stem cells and some abnormal blood cells. It causes the immune system
to kill these cells. Lintuzumab is a type of monoclonal antibody.;
