Anti-CD20 Monoclonal Antibody BAT4306F

Preferred Label : Anti-CD20 Monoclonal Antibody BAT4306F;

NCIt definition : A recombinant, glycosylation-modified monoclonal antibody directed against the human B-cell-specific cell surface antigen CD20, with potential antineoplastic and immunomodulating activities. Upon administration of anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody BAT4306F, the antibody specifically targets and binds to CD20. This induces antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) against CD20-expressing B-cells, which leads to B-cell apoptosis and the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation. CD20, a non-glycosylated cell surface phosphoprotein that is exclusively expressed on B-cells during most stages of B-cell development, is often overexpressed in B-cell malignancies. The complete defucosylation of BAT4306F may result in enhanced ADCC.;
