NCIt synonyms : Anti-CD3 x anti-HER-2-neu Bispecific Monoclonal Antibody;
NCIt definition : A murine monoclonal antibody with two antigen-recognition sites: one for CD3, an antigen
expressed on mature T cells, and one for HER-2-neu, a tumor-associated antigen that
promotes tumor growth. Ertumaxomab attaches to CD3-expressing T cells and HER-2-neu-expressing
tumor cells, selectively cross-linking tumor and immunologic cells which results in
the recruitment of cytotoxic T cells to the T cell/tumor cell aggregate.;
